Global Gaming Women on Wednesday introduced Siobhan Lane as its new President and Chair.
Lane, Light & Wonder Group CEO, has most recently served as GGW’s first vice president. Brandi Ellis, a gaming industry executive, has been named First Vice President, and Venetian Resort Vice President, People Operations Adriana Kasunic is Second Vice President.
Lane succeeds Light & Wonder Vice President of Sales Lauren Bates as President.
“Throughout her many years of service to the organization, Siobhan’s ardent focus on education has significantly expanded GGW’s offerings and reach, which we will see continued in her leadership as president,” Bates said in a statement. “I want to extend my deepest gratitude to GGW’s incredible members, sponsors, board members, and volunteers for your dedicated commitment to the organization over my term of service, during which we achieved more than 3,000 new members, launched 10 new programs, and held 17 live education events, which expanded into two new countries.”
Global Gaming Women’s new leadership appointments are effective January 1 and run through 2028. GGW also has appointed Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee Vice President of Finance Julie Woodruff to Board Secretary — a position vacated by Kasunic in her transition to Second Vice President.
“GGW’s mission to support, inspire, and influence the development of women in the gaming industry began thanks to its founders’ vision and commitment, which I am excited to champion in my role as President and Chair of the Board of Directors,” said Lane. “Outgoing GGW President Lauren Bates brought the organization to new heights, and I extend my immense appreciation to her for positioning the organization for continued success.”
