PAW Patrol company Spin Master has appointed media veteran Christina Miller as its new CEO. Miller will step in the post on July 7, replacing Max Rengel who is stepping down.
Miller has been an independent director on Spin Master’s Board of Directors since May 2000. Previously, she was president of kids, young adults and classic division at Warner Media, overseeing Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Boomerang and TCM.
“What has always been at the heart of Spin Master’s success is harnessing creativity and innovation to drive impact, shape culture and fuel growth through stories, characters, and play experiences,” said Spin Master Co-Founder Ronnen Harary. “We’ve known Christina for more than 20 years and she is a storyteller and brand-builder by nature and will bring her deep experience of balancing art and science in operating franchises, brands and digital platforms at scale to further progress our legacy as creators and disrupters in the industry.”
“Max has led Spin Master with purpose and a performance focus through a challenging period in our history,” added Spin Master chair and co-Founder Anton Rabie. “Under his leadership we have meaningfully diversified the business, enhanced our supply chain capabilities and improved profitability and free cash flow, all of which have contributed to a stronger company, well-positioned for long-term growth.”
“It’s been a privilege to lead this exceptional company and work alongside such passionate and innovative teams around the world,” said Rangel. “I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together, and I look forward to supporting Christina as she and the executive team guide Spin Master forward.”
“Having been on the board of this company for the past five years I’ve had a front row seat to witness the incredible power of Spin Master’s three creative centers,” said Miller. “This is a moment of opportunity – to harness the strength of our iconic brands like PAW Patrol, Rubik’s Cube and Melissa & Doug, along with our expansive Toca Boca and Piknik digital platforms, with over 70 million active users, and award-winning entertainment studio, to unlock our full potential and lead this next chapter. I’m inspired by what Spin Master has built and excited to work with the talented team to further the Company’s legacy through creativity and innovation.”
