Vickie Stratford

Vickie Stratford as manager of a BotCon 2007 tourbus.

Vickie Stratford is the former Sr. Design Project Manager for the Transformers brand at Hasbro, and has since been elevated to design director for Hasbro's Star Wars Marvel brand team. She has overseen projects like the Animated Bumper Battlers and PowerBots Cyber Speed Bumblebee. Before joining the Transformers brand, Vickie had worked on the Spider-Man 3 toyline, developing the Sandman "sand compound" and Venom symbiote ooze.

She decided she wanted to work in the toy industry permanently when, as an intern, she realized she was being paid to sit around and come up with My Little Pony names.
