They hail from Lake Charles in Louisiana, Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, Sauk Rapids in Minnesota, across the Atlantic in London, England, and all points in between. They are leaders in their field, exemplars of dedication and devotion.

They are this year’s class of 10 Women Rising in Gaming, a collaboration between Global Gaming Women and CDC Gaming.

“These remarkable leaders exemplify what it means to lead by example, inspiring those around them and creating a lasting impact within our industry and beyond,” said Global Gaming Women President Lauren Bates. “Their achievements are not only a testament to their individual dedication and hard work but, also a reflection of the power of women supporting women. I am excited to celebrate their success and watch their continued growth and influence in our industry.”

This year, there were no age restrictions on nominees – to qualify, the only had to be in the gaming industry for five years.

“This year’s 10 Women Rising in Gaming result from an industry rallying to support its peers,” said CDC Gaming Publisher Cory Roberts. “Opening the honors to women of any age resonated with our industry, resulting in over 100 peer nominations. These ten leaders exemplify personal development, starting from all entries into the industry. Your next global marketing executive might be your current graphic designer. Your property’s next general manager might be dealing baccarat Saturday night. I hope our industry can continue to support those with dreams for our industry — and themselves.”
