Gaming designer and provider AGS announced Wednesday that its Vice President of Human Resources, Kim Nasuta, was named one of VEGAS INC.’s 2019 Women to Watch, which celebrates Southern Nevada’s most influential female professionals.
Recipients of the honor were selected based on their work ethic, professional accomplishments and community contributions. Thirteen women were selected for inclusion on the list out of more than 100 nominees; Nasuta was the only named winner representing a gaming equipment supplier.
Before joining AGS, Nasuta served as Vice President of Human Resources for the Lucky Dragon Hotel & Casino. She was also previously the director of Human Resources for SK + G, a full-service marketing agency based in Las Vegas.
Nasuta and the other award recipients will be featured in the February 7 issue of Las Vegas Weekly and honored in a celebration that evening at the Silverton Casino Hotel’s Veil Pavilion.
“Since Kim joined AGS in early 2017, she has made many contributions to our business, including spearheading our veteran initiatives; recruiting and hiring more than 300 new team members globally in two years, including (our) new game-development studios; and leading our focus on corporate culture through high quality benefits, community outreach, and employee engagement,” AGS President and CEO David Lopez said in a statement.
Lopez also credits Nasuta with helping to achieve two big wins for the company: AGS was recognized in both 2017 and 2018 as one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work for in the Nation and Atlanta’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For.
“Kim has really focused on the whole employee experience, from hiring to orientation to continual engagement, recognition, and rewards,” Lopez said. “Our employees see that and feel that, and it truly makes a difference with retention and recruitment. She is an energetic, passionate, and creative HR leader who inspires her team and her colleagues each and every day.”
“We are so proud of Kim, and are truly thrilled to celebrate this award with her.”
