Women taking the driver's seat in iGaming: Elvira Lan spearheads female leadership
Shining the Light on Trailblazing Women in iGaming: Elvira Lan of 1win
Embrace the inspiring women who are changing the game in the iGaming sector, like Elvira Lan, Chief Business Development Officer at 1win. In the latest issue of SiGMA magazine, Lan challenges the old-fashioned norms that have held women back in this male-dominated industry.
Empowering Women in Gaming
Doubting one's abilities and worth is a common problem among women, even when they possess the skills and experience to excel. They may question whether they're qualified for certain job positions or career advancements due to personal concerns, upbringing, or a company's lack of development and promotion efforts.
Statistics prove the impact of these mental barriers. Despite the advancement of leadership development programs and the pursuit of workplace equality, women remain underrepresented in leadership roles. As of 2023, only 10% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women. However, the iGaming industry, a traditionally male-dominated domain, bucked this trend with 46% of its workforce being women. Interestingly, 22% of iGaming executives are women, although significant inclusivity and diversity shifts have only recently emerged.
Toppling stereotypes and supporting initiatives that encourage young women to pursue tech careers is crucial. To learn more about Lan's insights into women in the iGaming sector, check out the full article in SiGMA Magazine's Issue 29.
Women's Empowerment: A Priority for SiGMA
Understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by women in the business sector, especially in iGaming, is vital. This was demonstrated at SiGMA East Europe 2024, where Lan served as a keynote speaker and panel moderator, sharing her empowering vision for the iGaming industry.
Lan's keynote address, titled "Empowering Women Leaders in iGaming," was followed by a panel discussion with other influential ladies in the sector. The Women in Gaming panel consisted of Elena Rzyanina (Lenkep Founder & CEO), Alexia Gauci (ReferOn B2B Sales Manager), Marianna Tavella (SiGMA Group Chief Legal Officer), and Elvira Lan herself.
SiGMA has been a steadfast champion for gender equality, advocating for women's advancement in the iGaming industry. By offering a platform for influential women like Elvira Lan to share their experiences and perspectives, SiGMA is making a difference in breaking down barriers and inspiring the next generation of female professionals.
