As we enter 2020 and look at who will show the leadership and innovation within our industry both online and land based, The Women in Gaming Diversity has revealed the most influential, innovative and inspiring ladies within our business.<\/p>\n
As we all know the gender gap is still there with the most recent survey by \u201cGender Imbalance in Business\u201d shows that: 35% of women hold junior level roles within the Media and Online sector, 25% represent mid-level management, which is the same proportion in Senior level roles also, BUT the big disparency is at the most senior level where CEO\u2019s live, there is only 13% of women in those positions.<\/p>\n
However below we celebrate the women that not just have made the highest peak in business but those leading the charge to show that women in all levels have made a huge impact on their business for good.<\/p>\n
The list below is in alphabetical order only and does not represent any other order of importance, but shows the most influential women within the entire gambling industry.<\/p>\n
