To coincide with International Women’s Day, Joanne Christie takes stock of where the industry is at in terms of gender diversity and looks at what more needs to be done.
If one looked solely at the industry news related to appointments this year, they might come to the conclusion that the gaming industry is an industry with reasonable gender diversity.
Within the space of one week in late January, there were three female CEO appointments, including the first ever female CEO of a listed British gaming company in Entain’s Jette Nygaard-Andersen.

Flutter Entertainment has appointed Vice chief executive Nancy Dubuc as a non-executive director as part of a boardroom shake-up aimed at redressing the company’s gender balance.
Dubuc, a media industry veteran, has led youth-oriented Vice Media since 2018. Prior to this she was chief executive of A&E Television Networks.
Flutter, formerly known as Paddy Power Betfair, also tapped British American Tobacco director Holly Koeppel.
The FTSE 100 gambling group said Dubuc and Koeppel will replace Divyesh Gadhia and Peter Rigby, who have decided not to seek re-election following the next annual general meeting on 29 April.
Flutter Entertainment has made a number of non-executive changes to its management, the outcome of which will “enhance the gender balance” of its board, according to statement from the group.
Holly Koeppel and Nancy Dubuc will be appointed as independent non-executive directors of the Paddy Power Betfair owner in April and May respectively.
Ms Dubuc has been CEO of North American headquartered, international media group, Vice Media since 2018. She held senior management positions, including CEO, with A&E Television Networks between 1999-2018.
Prior to this, Ms Dubuc previously held various roles in the media and technology industry.
Meanwhile, Ms Koeppel is currently non-executive director of British American Tobacco, Arch Resources, and AES Corporation.
