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.”
