Hasbro Entertainment President Olivier Dumont Exits

Hasbro Entertainment president Olivier Dumont is exiting the company.

Hasbro is the toy company that holds the rights to Peppa Pig, PJ Masks, Transformers, G.I. Joe, My Little Pony and more — all of them have been adapted into various films and series. It also makes board games like Monopoly and Scrabble; games that could and are being used by Hollywood.

“As for what’s next, I’m excited to explore new opportunities to build, lead, and create,” Dumont wrote in a LinkedIn blog post.

In 2023, Hasbro sold its Entertainment One (eOne) division to Lionsgate for $500 million. The toymaker acquired eOne four years prior; the $4 billion deal brought Peppa Pig and PJ Masks to Hasbro.

After an incredible journey that began at Entertainment One and continued through at Hasbro after the acquisition, the time has come for me to hand over my dice, cards, and action figures 🎲🃏🤖 and pass the torch.

What makes me proudest isn’t just the shows or films we delivered, but the everlasting memories we created for children and families all over the world. From Peppa Pig to PJ Masks, Transformers to My Little Pony, I had the joy of working with visionary creators, partners, and colleagues to bring these beloved brands to life in new and meaningful ways.

At eOne, we grew from a passionate team of 20 to more than 200, building something truly special together. Over the past 15 years, I’ve seen and been inspired by an unparalleled level of collaboration, integrity, and creativity. We built high-functioning teams not through hierarchy, but through empowerment: trusting people to do their best work, take bold risks, and bring their imagination to families everywhere. And the results just followed as we collectively built two $1B+ brands.

I’m deeply grateful to the many colleagues, creators, partners and friends who shared this adventure with me. And I’ll always treasure being part of an industry where “play” wasn’t just what we made, it was our purpose.

As for what’s next, I’m excited to explore new opportunities to build, lead, and create. For now, I’m celebrating the ride, the people, and the memories we built together. Thank you, Entertainment One and Hasbro, for the adventure of a lifetime.
