Kilpin to Lead Mattel’s Growth in Established
and Emerging International Markets
Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) announced today that company veteran
Tim Kilpin has been named Executive Vice President, International,
effective immediately. Kilpin will be responsible for advancing
Mattel’s already strong international presence, and for leading the
company’s growth in emerging markets throughout Asia, Europe and
Latin America.
“As our presence in markets outside the United States continues
to grow, it’s critical to ensure that we have a strong, experienced
leader overseeing Mattel’s international business,” said Mattel
Chairman and CEO Bryan G. Stockton. “International sales make up
about half of Mattel’s total annual revenue, and our goal is to
increase that number steadily over the next few years. With his
deep creative experience, his knowledge of the toy industry and his
intimate familiarity with Mattel’s portfolio of brands, Tim is
singularly qualified to lead our international division and to
oversee our growth into emerging global markets.”
Kilpin has held a variety of leadership roles with Mattel. Most
recently, he served as Executive Vice President, Global Brands Team
– Boys & Girls, a role to which he was appointed in 2011. Prior
to that, he served as General Manager and Senior Vice President,
Mattel Brands. He served as General Manager and Senior Vice
President for the Girls, Boys and Games groups from November 2008
to February 2010, and for the Boys group from October 2005 to
November 2008. Additionally, he served as Senior Vice President,
Marketing, from 2003 to 2005.
Previously in his career, Kilpin was employed by The Walt Disney
Company, where he served as Executive Vice President of Studio
Franchise Management. He began his career with Mattel in 1984,
having held numerous marketing positions, including Executive Vice
President and General Manager of the then Character Brands business
unit.
“I’m honored to have been selected to lead Mattel’s
international division, alongside a strong and talented leadership
team,” said Mr. Kilpin. “More than 95 percent of the world’s
children live outside the U.S., and Mattel – with its leading
portfolio of brands, products and characters – is uniquely
positioned for global growth and expansion.”
Kilpin will continue to serve as a member of Mattel’s executive
leadership team, reporting to Chairman and CEO Bryan Stockton.
