Nominations for the event are now open and will close on October 31.
Judge Role and Selection Philosophy
As the 2023 iGB Most Influential Women Award winner, Victoria Reid participates in this year's selection as a judge. She stated that this role change allows her to advocate for women who make substantial impacts in the industry yet lack sufficient recognition.
Reid told Nicole Macedo, the executive editor for iGB Europe, Middle East, and Africa, "Such awards should be given to women who help other women build confidence. This is a special ability that women possess—the spirit of collaboration, and I hope to see everyone around them excel."
Value of Women's Collaboration and Mutual Support
Reid particularly highlighted the special value of collaboration and mutual support among women, which she considers a superpower displayed by women in their career development. She hopes to promote this spirit of mutual aid through the selection event, allowing more women to gain recognition and support.
"I think it's very important to recognize women who do this at every stage of their career," Reid added. She hopes the selection will highlight women leaders who quietly support others' growth in their daily work.
Award Experience and Personal Growth
Reflecting on her 2023 award experience, Reid said the honor motivated her to join the global gaming women's group and start mentoring young members. This transformation allowed her to grow from an awardee to a guide for newcomers in the industry.
Reid shared, "I never thought I could do anything before, but now I have the confidence to guide others, which is incredible. I hope to help the next generation grow and become more inspirational women worthy of admiration."
Participation in the Global Gaming Women's Group
After winning the award, Reid actively participated in the activities of the global gaming women's group, focusing on the career development of young members. Through mentorship programs, she provides guidance and support to newcomers, helping them establish career paths in the gaming industry.
Her involvement reflects that the iGB Most Influential Women selection event not only focuses on individual achievements but also on how awardees give back to the industry and help other women grow.
