(Reuters) – Toymaker Mattel’s Fisher-Price brand head, Chuck Scothon, will leave the company after about six years leading the division, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing a company spokesperson.
Mattel is advertising for a new general manager and senior vice president of Fisher-Price to lead the brand, the report said.
The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Earlier this month, Mattel came under pressure from activist investor Barington Capital, which pushed for a possible sale of its Fisher-Price and American Girl brands and separating the role of CEO from the chairman.
Mattel is scheduled to report its fourth-quarter results after markets close on Feb.
