Wisconsin-based PlayMonster is looking toward the future.

Following the retirement of Chief PlayMonster Bob Wann and the promotion of Tim Kilpin to CEO, the company has restructured its senior leadership team in an effort to unify initiatives and planning as it grows its business to deliver new play experiences to kids around the world.

“We are stronger than ever as a global company, and we’re pleased with the opportunities ahead of us as we prepare to roll out our 2022 initiatives around the world,” Kilpin says. We have great unity as an organization, as demonstrated by the strength of our senior leadership team, who are respected authorities in their departments, and bring incredible strategic insights to our mandate as a global company.”
