MUMBAI: Hasbro Studios has named animation industry veteran Kathy Page to serve as vice president of production.

She will oversee physical production of programming produced by Hasbro Studios. Much of the content produced by the Studio will be seen on The Hub, the new television network launching this fall created by the joint venture between Hasbro and Discovery Communications, as well as in international markets.

Page joins Hasbro from Sony Pictures Television where, as VP of animation since 2007, she led the television animation production division, overseeing production on such series as The Spectacular Spiderman, and Sit Down, Shut Up.

Hasbro Studios president Stephen J. Davis said, “Kathy’s extensive production and management experience, overseeing many top-rated series throughout her career, will be invaluable to us as re-imagine Hasbro’s world class brands for television. Kathy has already been working closely with our Studio development team and outside creative stewards on a consulting basis, so she hits the ground running as we continue to ramp up production of best in class content for the kids and family market. We’re delighted to now have Kathy as a permanent member of our senior team.”
