Siobhan Lane, Executive Vice President and Group Chief Executive of Gaming at Light & Wonder, has discussed the company's transformation since its rebrand from Scientific Games. She stated that the company streamlined its portfolio by divesting its lottery and sports betting businesses to focus on content creation for land-based, digital, and social gaming channels. Lane attributed the company's growth to reinvestment in research and development, a healthy balance sheet, and a strategy centered on distributing game content across multiple platforms. She noted that the Asian market, particularly Macau and the Philippines, has become a significant growth driver, and that the company tailors its game content to local consumer preferences in different jurisdictions. Lane has also spoken about her experiences as a woman in the male-dominated technology and gaming industries. She said that all of her early mentors were men, and that she did not have a female mentor until she moved to the UK. Lane described the importance of both male and female support in career development and expressed a commitment to being a role model and mentor for others. She has also discussed the challenges of balancing her role as a CEO with being a mother of three, emphasizing the need to set boundaries, prioritize self-care, and operate according to one's natural productivity rhythms. Lane stated that she values integrity and building diverse teams, and that she uses her position to create space for others.
“Growing up in New Zealand, all of my mentors and coaches were men β women are so underrepresented in the tech industry, especially in leadership roles.”
“The male mentors I had didn't just guide me β they empowered me, challenged me, broke down doorways and barriers and provided the support I needed to reach my goals.”
“It wasn't until I moved to the UK that I had my first female mentor β there's something powerful about sharing experiences with another woman; it brings a different level of support and understanding.”
“A lot of my drive comes from my mum β she was an absolute force in her career, always challenging people to think differently and caring for the people around her. I'm also really proud of my sister who is a strong female leader in the technology industry back home in New Zealand.”
