Global Gaming Women (GGW) has appointed Siobhan Lane as the non-profit's new President and Board Chair, succeeding former President Lauren Bates whose term will officially end on December 31, 2025.
"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.
"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."
Lane also serves as Group CEO of Light & Wonder's Gaming division, while Bates maintains a VP of Sales title for the supplier.
"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," Lane said.
"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."
Brandi Ellis, a longtime executive in gaming, will take over the role of GGW First VP from Lane, while Adriana Kasunic has been appointed to Second VP. Kasunic is also VP of People Operations at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
With Kasunic having previously served as GGW's Board Secretary, the position will now be filled by Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee VP of Finance Julie Woodruff. Each of the new leadership roles will go into effect on January 1, 2026, and carry terms running through 2028.
