Title: Hasbro's CEO passed away
Post by: SunPony on October 12, 2021, 09:42:56 PM: I saw this on a Transformers website, but here is the press release: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20211012006149/en/

He was only 58, apparently he had been battling cancer. He was the executive producer for the new MLP movie...I hope he saw it as a success before he passed (maybe he had more important things on his mind though). RIP

I'm not a corporate minded person, generally. But this man oversaw some important things. May his memory and legacy be a blessing.

I didn’t see that because we watch ITV News.

That is a lot! And a lot on the Transformers side of things, too, since the first live action movie came out just around when he would have started. He must have been super busy...I guess that is a given for a CEO, but still.
