Georgiadis, whose appointment is effective Feb. 8, has also
served as chief operating officer of daily deals website
operator Groupon Inc <GRPN.O> and chief marketing officer of
Discover Financial Services <DFS.N>.
Sinclair, who will remain chairman, took over in April 2015
after the company abruptly removed Bryan Stockton amid falling

Under Sinclair, Mattel's efforts to revive its flagship Barbie
gained traction, driven by a change in marketing strategy and
the launch of dolls in a variety of skin tones, hairstyles and
outfits and in three new body shapes.
