Hasbro promotes digital gaming chief Chris Cocks to CEO
Cocks, who joined the company in 2016 from Microsoft, is currently president and operating chief of its Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming division, which makes the “Dungeons and Dragons” and “Magic: The Gathering” games. Last year, Hasbro restructured its business into three divisions to transform into a “global play and digital entertainment company” rather than just a toymaker. At Microsoft, Cocks served in product management and marketing leadership positions at MSN and Xbox, working on hit franchises like “Halo” and “Fable”, Hasbro said in a statement.
