With a career spanning three decades, and over two decades at Amiqus, Prince has been actively working to enhance industry standards and champion equality. In 2018, she introduced G Into Gaming, aimed at acknowledging women's contributions in gaming and encouraging the establishment of more inclusive work environments. Furthermore, she co-founded Empower Up alongside Dom Shaw and UKIE, a program offering resources related to equity, diversity, and inclusion for industry employers.

Prince is a notable advocate for the GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit and participates in the GamesIndustry.biz Best Places To Work Awards, both designed to provide industry insights and best practices to HR professionals.

Expressing her gratitude, Prince remarked, “I am incredibly honored to receive this recognition. The games industry has been a major part of my career, and I am deeply committed to its people and companies. I view this honor as a testament to collective efforts. Initiatives like G Into Gaming and Empower Up rely on the contributions of many who share their time and ideas."

“While proud of our achievements, I recognize there is more to be done. I hope this acknowledgment keeps the spotlight on the importance of equitable opportunities, fair representation, and inclusive environments in the gaming field.”

In similar accolades, Michael French, head of Games London, was previously honored with an MBE in the New Year Honours, and the founders of Rebellion, Chris and Jason Kingsley, received CBEs in 2024, as noted here.
