Mattel has appointed Paul Ruh as Chief Financial Officer, following the retirement of Anthony DiSilvestro. Ruh will report directly to Ynon Kreiz, Chairman and CEO of Mattel. With over three decades of experience in finance, Ruh brings a strong background in managing and growing consumer brands.

His prior roles also include Senior Finance positions at Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo, and The Procter & Gamble Company.
In his new role, Ruh will lead Mattel’s Global Finance and Technology Functions, including financial planning, investor relations, internal audit, tax, and treasury. CEO Ynon Kreiz expressed confidence in Ruh’s ability, stating, “Paul brings to Mattel an exceptional track record as a global finance leader for some of the world’s largest consumer brands, guiding companies to achieve operational excellence and driving strong performance. We welcome Paul at an exciting chapter in our journey and look forward to his partnership as we continue to successfully execute our multi-year strategy and unlock the full value of our IP outside the toy aisle.” Ruh leads Mattel’s efforts to drive growth by focusing on innovative play experiences and expanding the company’s reach across products, entertainment, and digital platforms.
