Hasbro is bolstering its board of directors with the addition of two executives from the tech and gaming space.
Elizabeth Hamren, chief operating officer of Discord, and Blake Jorgensen, executive vice president of special projects, and former chief financial officer and chief operating officer, at Electronic Arts (EA), joined the board as of April 1.
“As proven, experienced leaders with significant industry expertise and a long history of delivering profitable growth, Liz and Blake add tremendous value and critical thinking to our board as we enter the next phase of our growth,” says Rich Stoddart, chair of Hasbro’s board of directors. “Their significant management experience and qualifications in areas important to Hasbro’s strategy including digital gaming, technology, brand development, and capital allocation, coupled with their superb operational, strategic and financial acumen, will enable them to make immediate, valuable contributions as we continue to unlock the value of our award-winning brands and create long-term value for our shareholders.”
Hamren joined Discord last December from Microsoft where she worked on the development and launch of the Xbox Series X|S and led Xbox Game Pass. She previously led global marketing and sales for Oculus at Metal Platforms (formerly Facebook).
Jorgensen joined EA in 2012 from Levi Strauss & Co. and previously held executive roles at Yahoo! and Thomas Weisel Partners. His experience at EA spans finance, consumer products, technology, and gaming.
