"I am truly honored to be appointed chairman of Hasbro and to have the opportunity to further lead the evolution of this tremendous company," Goldner said, in statement.
Hasbro is the second major toy company to report a leadership change in the last two weeks. Brian Stockton resigned as chairman and CEO of Mattel on Jan. 26. Stockton's departure came after fourth-quarter earnings fell short of analyst expectations.
