There couldn't be a more fitting recognition. Your leadership, dedication, and steady guidance have helped shape both Maxx Marketing and YuMe Toys, and we're proud to celebrate this well-deserved honor. Congratulations, Ann Wong ! We're all cheering you on. 💙 #WonderWomenAwards2026 #WWA2026 #Leadership
💖 Some of the most influential leaders are the ones whose impact is felt far more than it is seen. Today, we're incredibly proud to celebrate our Chief Operating Officer, Ann Wong, on her nomination as a finalist for the 2026 WiT Wonder Women Awards in the Unsung Hero category. Since joining YuMe Toys, Ann has played a pivotal role in shaping the company we are today. As Co-Founder of Maxx and a key contributor in the 2017 management buyout that led to the creation of YuMe, she has helped lead our evolution into a dynamic, drop-driven collectibles business, strengthened collaboration across every function, and championed the systems, processes, and strategic discipline that enable faster launches, stronger execution, and smarter decision-making around the world —together with the support of a strong team. But what truly makes Ann an Unsung Hero isn't simply what she has accomplished—it's how she leads. She leads with humility, thoughtfulness, and unwavering integrity. She celebrates the success of others before her own, quietly removes obstacles so teams can do their best work, and fosters a culture built on accountability, trust, and collaboration. She prioritizes the success of the team and consistently works behind the scenes to remove obstacles and improve how we operate. Ann reminds us that true leadership isn't measured by how visible you are, but by the opportunities you create for others to succeed. Her quiet strength, strategic vision, and lasting impact embody the very spirit of the Unsung Hero award. Congratulations, Ann, on this well-deserved recognition. We are honored to celebrate you and grateful for the example you set every day.
