“I am absolutely delighted to be joining the team at Aykroyds and to be managing their licensed product portfolio moving forward,” Robyn commented. “I have long admired and respected Aykroyds and the people who work there so am excited to get started. I am passionate about driving brand extensions, forging new partnerships as well as nurturing existing relationships and am eager to contribute to their continued success and growth.”
