Jill E. Barad succeeded John W. Amerman as chief executive as of Jan. 1, 1997. During Amerman’s 10 years as chief executive, Mattel sales quadrupled and profits increased tenfold as the company expanded around the world. Barad was Amerman’s No. 2 for four years.

During 17 years at Mattel, Barad had risen from product manager to one of America’s most powerful women executives. She made her mark largely by re-establishing Barbie dolls as America’s most enduring toy franchise.
