Amy Hennig And Kiki Wolfkill Enter Fortune Top Ten List Of Most Powerful Women In The Games Industry

Fortune Magazine has published its annual list of the top ten most powerful women in gaming. This year it adds two of the industries largest names, Amy Hennig and Kiki Wolfkill.

Kiki Wolfkill is best known for her role as Executive Producer in Halo 4, as well as working as the Lead Artist on the first two Project Gotham Racing titles.

Amy Hennig is one of the game industries biggest names, at least when it comes to narrative and direction. Her work includes the more modern Uncharted series, as well as the Jak and Daxter and Legacy of Kain franchises.

The full list as follows:

  • Hope Cochran, CFO at King
  • Stephanie Barish, CEO at IndieCADE
  • Holly Liu, co-founder and chief of staff at Kabam
  • Emily Greer, co-founder and CEO at Kongregate
  • Jessica Tams, managing director at Casual Games Association

  • Kiki Wolfkill, executive producer of Halo at 343 Industries
  • Amy Hennig, creative director at Naughty Dog
  • Lucy Bradshaw, senior vice-president at Maxis
  • Jade Raymond, managing director at Ubisoft Toronto

It should be noted that although this list is comprised of very powerful women in the industry, only 15% of the game industry work-force is female. You can find the full list with all the nitty-gritty details can be found here.
