Throughout March, Zynga’s social channels will be shining a
spotlight on its female executives for their roles in promoting a
more inclusive workplace at the company’s family of studios around
the world:
- Phuong Phillips, Chief Legal Officer, Zynga: “We have a
huge opportunity to make gaming more diverse and inclusive by
reflecting the ever-increasing number of women playing games in the
industry. At Zynga, we’re taking action – from mentorship programs
to networking workshops – to ensure that women have the skills,
opportunities and support to advance their careers. With these
efforts, and other measures that the industry is making, I’m
excited about the future of gaming.”
- Amy Rawlings, Chief Accounting Officer, Zynga: “To
change the narrative about gaming being a male-dominated industry,
we need more female characters in games and more women to play a
bigger role in making and supporting games.”
- Rebecca Lau, Vice President of Investor Relations and
Corporate Finance, Zynga: “It is incredibly important to have
women working on games to ensure that women are equally accessible
and empowered as other characters in the game. Women make up a
significant portion of gaming communities and should have a chance
to identify with characters in games in a way that can also be
empowering in real life.”
- Kate Huber, Vice President of People Operations, Zynga:
“Recognizing the diverse makeup of players, especially in mobile
gaming, makes the industry much more accessible. You can see
yourself making games for people like you.”
- Claudia Sanchez Wilson, Vice President of Legal, Zynga:
“We change the narrative by being the change – by showing up every
day to claim our space and share our voice in this industry, in our
company, on our teams and in our roles.”
- Gemma Doyle, Vice President of Player Success, Zynga:
“It’s not just about owning your seat at the table – it’s about
being vocal on the others who should be seated at that table with
you.”
- Nicole Hartvig-David, Vice President of Marketing,
Zynga: “I lead a team where women make up half of the group, so
I know how critical female leadership is to help attract female
talent and to act as role models and mentors to others. We need to
ensure that women are well represented as the face of gaming.”
- Janice Lansing, Vice President of Business Operations,
Zynga: “Women are critical to the development of games. So,
it’s important to provide internal support, mentorship and an
inclusive environment where they can thrive.”
- Nubia Palacios Mora, Vice President of Art, Zynga: “Be
seen and don't hold back. Our opinions, our thoughts and our
experiences should be an active part of the decision-making
process.”
- Gabrielle Heyman, Head of Global Brand Partnerships,
Zynga: “Changing the narrative about gaming is all about
representation. The more women make, appear and play in games, the
more women will participate across the board in any position.”
- An Vu, Chief Marketing Officer, Small Giant Games:
“Until there are more inclusive games for women to work on and
contribute to in an authentic and meaningful way, we can’t expect
to change the narrative overnight. Inclusive games are designed
consciously; it’s never an accident.”
- Bhavna Talwar, Senior Director of HR, Zynga: “We've only
just scratched the surface of how powerful a medium gaming can be,
whether that’s to encourage more women to play or to work in the
industry.”
- Jennie Lees, Director of Engineering, NaturalMotion: “By
showing up, making a great game and mentoring other women, I serve
as an example that women can be successful at all levels and that
the sky’s the limit when it comes to our impact.”
Nine other female employees selected for their efforts in
promoting diversity at the company by Women at Zynga (WAZ), the
company’s female-focused employee resource group, are featured in
the group’s video to highlight International Women’s Day.
Zynga has led and partnered with many organizations to provide
coaching, leadership and mentorship opportunities to help female
employees succeed and become leaders in their careers and
communities.
As part of the celebration, Zynga is paying tribute to women in
its mobile game FarmVille 2: Tropic Escape. From March 5 through
March 9, the game’s female characters – including Kate, Maya and
Ting – will be sharing personal stories about what International
Women’s Day means to them, with a reward shared at the end of the
quest.
