Spin Master Corp. Welcomes New Directors to the Board

On April 30, 2026, Spin Master Corp., a renowned leader in global children's entertainment, held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders, where the elected nominees from its management information circular were officially welcomed to the Board of Directors. One of the standout appointees is Yael Vizel, a technology entrepreneur whose extensive background in artificial intelligence (AI) and retail innovation marks a significant addition to the company’s leadership team.

A Look at Yael Vizel

Yael Vizel brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Spin Master Corp, most recently serving as Senior Director for AI Innovation at Walmart Global Tech. In this role, she spearheaded initiatives that leveraged artificial intelligence to improve digital retail experiences, setting new benchmarks in the industry. Her prior achievement is especially notable: she co-founded Zeekit Ltd., a trailblazing AI company that created virtual fitting room technology, allowing online shoppers to visualize how apparel would look on them. This innovative service significantly enhanced the online shopping experience. Under her leadership, Zeekit gained recognition before being acquired by Walmart in 2021.

Vizel's contributions to the tech and entrepreneurial landscape have not gone unnoticed; she has received accolades such as being named one of Forbes Israel's 50 Most Powerful Women and recognized in Globes' 40 under 40 in 2019.
