Zigazoo, a leading social media platform for kids and teens, designates Ashley Mady as its Chief Executive Officer. This leadership transition marks a new chapter for Zigazoo, adding to its vision of building a media company that grows with Generation Alpha.
With more than two decades of experience, Mady brings her entertainment knowledge and instincts to Zigazoo’s next chapter. Notable works include recognizable brands such as Disney’s Hannah Montana, The Wiggles, Care Bears, and Tonka. Mady also has experience serving as a president of Women in Toys, Licensing & Entertainment, and currently sits on the Boards of Directors of The Toy Association and The Toy Foundation.
Mady will work alongside Founder Zak Ringelstein, who will transition to Executive Chairman, and Simon Philips, who serves on Zigazoo’s Board of Directors. Her leadership will expand the company beyond its platform, while developing new ways for users to connect across digital and real-world experiences.
“Since Ashley joined Zigazoo, she has played a pivotal role in shaping the company we are today,” says Ringelstein. “She brings a unique combination of experience across entertainment, creators, consumer products, and technology. We’re building the company Generation Alpha grows up with, and Ashley is the leader to make that vision a reality.”
“Every child deserves the opportunity to create, not just consume,” says Mady. “We’re building the media company for Generation Alpha, where creators, technology, and community help young people discover their voice. We believe the future of media will be participatory, creator-driven, and built with communities, not simply for them. The next generation won’t just watch the future of media; they’ll help create it.”
