Two Daughters Entertainment Appoints Former Hasbro Senior Vice President Finn Arnesen as Chief Operating Officer – Variety

Earlier Hasbro Executive Finn Arnesen has been named chief operating officer of British production company Two Daughters Entertainment.

Arnesen’s role is to grow the company’s intellectual property portfolio and grow revenue across the enterprise through the implementation of creative and commercial strategies. He will report to James Reatchlous, founder and CEO of Two Daughters.

At Hasbro, Arnesen was the senior vice president of local distribution and development for the company’s in-house studios, overseeing titles such as My Little Pony and Transformers. He also worked at Games Workshop, owner of Warhammer, and Cartoon Network, where he developed and launched original IPs such as The Amazing World of Gumball.

Two Daughters is best known for the children’s animation Moley, which features the voices of Warwick Davis, Jessica Henwick, Stanley Tucci and Gemma Arterton. It is available on Warner Bros Discovery’s Boomerang in the US and on the free-to-air network POP in the UK. Now, the company is focusing on launching three new properties and expanding “Moley’s” merchandise and licensing network globally.

“I’m excited to join Two Daughters during this period of expansion and to work with James to build on his success to date with Moley and the amazing story behind its creation,” said Arnesen. “The company has solid investments and a dynamic business model, so I look forward to playing my part in growing this business and bringing engaging and entertaining IP to a global audience of children and families.”

Reatchlous added, “We are delighted to have Finn joining the company, bringing his extensive experience in children’s and family entertainment to help us continue to grow.”
