He has spent more than 40 years in the kids’ consumer products industry at companies like Hasbro, and has spent the last 26 years in executive management roles at TOMY.

Greg Kilrea now assumes the role of president of TOMY International for the Americas and Europe. Kilrea has been with TOMY International for 15 years and has most recently served as chief operating officer.

In addition, Rod Voss will step into the role of chief operating officer. Voss has spent 24 years with TOMY, holding positions in finance, marketing, and product development, and most recently served as senior vice president of operations. One of Voss’ key goals in his new role will be driving sustainability initiatives throughout TOMY’s operations.  

“As TOMY approaches its 100th anniversary in 2024, we look forward to expanding the ways in which we bring smiles to the world through play,” Kilrea says.
