3 IGT Employees Named Most Influential Women in Gaming for 2020
The employees honored include Senior Director of Marketing Jennifer Bowman, Vice President, Business Development, Greater China & Asia Pacific Hiu-Yu Vanessa Chan, and CTO Rachel Barber.
“I’m excited about the future — and especially for more opportunities for more young women to go into computer science here at IGT. The lottery and gaming industries are a very complicated business and a very exciting business and we’re happy to be here in Rhode Island — and I think I speak for a lot of the employees when I say that we’re hopeful the future of IGT will continue to have a strong presence here in Rhode Island,” Barber told GoLocalProv News Editor Kate Nagle on GoLocal LIVE back in August.
