Funko is expanding its board of directors to nine members by appointing Jason Harinstein as an independent director.
Harinstein will also join the company’s audit committee. Harinstein currently serves as CFO of Collectors Holdings,a provider of authentication, grading, and marketplaces for the collectibles industry.
As a fan of Funko and a witness to its impressive story, I am excited to contribute to its next phase of growth. Funko’s success in expanding its direct-to-consumer reach and launching innovative new product lines like Pop! Yourself and Bitty Pop! demonstrate the company’s continued creativity and forward-thinking approach. Moreover, I believe the company has implemented a sound strategy of building on its position as a leader in the pop culture space by continuing to amaze core collectors and consumers, expanding its fandoms, and adding new points of distribution.”
“Jason’s wealth of experience in the collectibles industry and his financial expertise as a two-time CFO bring invaluable insights to Funko at a time when we are laying important groundwork for future growth,” says Cynthia Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Funko. “His proven leadership in corporate development and strategy, coupled with his passion for innovation, aligns perfectly with Funko’s focus on growth and expanding our impact in the pop culture landscape.”
Harinstein previously served as the CFO of Flatiron Health, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategy at Groupon, and Director of Corporate Development at Google.
