Ynon Kreiz to Leave Mattel for Co-CEO Role at Merged Paramount-Warner Bros
Ynon Kreiz, Mattel's CEO since 2018 who expanded the company's entertainment ventures including the successful Barbie movie, is stepping down to become co-CEO of the merged Paramount-Warner Bros company starting October 5. Mattel's board member Roger Lynch will succeed Kreiz as CEO by early November. Kreiz will oversee day-to-day operations and integration at Paramount, while David Ellison will lead strategy and creative aspects. The leadership change occurs amid investor pressure and Mattel's modest stock performance during Kreiz's tenure.
