MCV’s Top 100 Women in Games revealed

The high-flyers on our MCV Brit List: Women in Games Top 100 are now revealed.

100 women working in the UK games industry from almost 100 different studios, divisions or companies have made it to the list – chosen by a judging panel of over 50 UK games industry executives. You can read the full list below.

Competition was intense. We had over 400 individuals from across the global games business (some at the highest level) put forward candidates in every field.

And the result is just as diverse, from indie devs and start up founders through to those leading strategy or devising top tech for format holders via retail, legal, marketing and many other professions.

Congratulations to all those that made it on the list.

What happens next?

– MCV will profile each of the top 100 in the January 30th issue of MCV. The content will also be serialised online throughout February. We’ll be reaching out to the Top 100 next week, but if you want to get ahead, contactcdring@nbmedia.com.

– The Top 100 are also invited to our special Women Of The Year Awards on February 19th, where we will award three of the Top 100 with honours for creativity, influence and impact in their careers. If someone on the list below is worthy of these awards, let us know your thoughts viawomeningames@nbmedia.com

– A limited number of extra tickets are available for the awards celebration for anyone else in the games business (male or female). At 65 a ticket you get you access to our pre- and post-event networking drinks, and the ceremony itself. Book direct now by clicking right here. Or contact Jess Farnan onjfarnan@nbmedia.comor 01992 535 646 for group bookings.
