Forbes' 50 Over 50 List Honors Super League's Ann Hand
August 03 2023 - 6:00AM
Super League (Nasdaq: SLGG), a global leader in
delivering immersive experiences across the world’s largest digital
social platforms, celebrates the recognition of the company’s
longtime
Chair and CEO Ann Hand, who has been honored by
Forbes as one of the exceptional leaders on this year’s
prestigious 50 Over 50 list. The annual
list celebrates investors, entrepreneurs, inventors, and innovative
thinkers who have accomplished remarkable feats after the age of
50, proving that age can be a superpower in achieving greatness.
Ann,
the only female CEO of a publicly-traded gaming
company, joins the ranks alongside such notable executives
as American Express Consumer Banking President Eva Reda, Harvard
University President Claudine Gay, actress, producer, and author
Jamie Lee Curtis, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley and more.
Ann’s inclusion on this list is a testament to
her decades of work as a market-facing executive across various
industries. Under Ann’s visionary leadership, Super League has been
an early mover and industry leader in connecting brand partners to
audiences in immersive digital environments on platforms like
Roblox, where over 66 million people connect and communicate daily.
Through her strategic guidance, the company now reaches a network
of over 120 million passionate gamers in global metaverse
environments and has connected more than 100 top brand partners and
IP owners such as Universal Pictures, Paramount, Sony Pictures
Entertainment, NFL, Chipotle, Clarks, Dave & Busters, PacSun,
Interscope Records, Warner Music Group, and L’Oreal, seamlessly
with their target audiences in new and innovative ways.
Recognized by Forbes for her impact in reshaping
the entertainment and cultural landscape, Ann stands out as a
visionary leader. With a rich and diverse career spanning large-cap
to small-cap companies and encompassing both public and private
entities, she has demonstrated remarkable versatility. This is
exemplified by her successful venture into gaming and
entertainment, culminating in Super League’s public listing in
2019. Prior to this, Ann held pivotal high-level executive
positions at BP, where she spearheaded a $3 billion global business
unit and later served as Senior Vice President of Global Brand
Marketing and Innovation, overseeing the company’s global B2C and
B2B brand portfolio.
“It is a tremendous honor to stand alongside
such visionary leaders who continue to make remarkable
contributions to their respective fields,” said Hand. “As we
celebrate this win, it reinforces the profound significance of
nurturing an inclusive and diverse future. Irrespective of
industry, diverse voices and ideas are pivotal drivers of
meaningful change. Super League is devoted to fostering a culture
that wholeheartedly embraces inclusivity, empowering the next
generation to push the boundaries of their self-expression and
impact through our positive social experiences to celebrate and
encourage their unique strengths. My gratitude to Forbes for
illuminating the achievements of these powerful women and for
championing a more equitable world, inspiring others to dream big
no matter their age"
The Forbes 50 Over 50 list, now in its third
year, features 200 women across four distinct categories:
Lifestyle, Impact, Innovation, and Investment. The compilation of
the final list is a rigorous process that involves the
collaboration of Forbes and Mika Brzezinski, co-host of MSNBC’s
Morning Joe and author of Know Your Value: Women, Money, and
Getting What You're Worth. Expert judges, including entrepreneurs
Bobbi Brown and Miyoko Schinner, financiers Suzanne Shank and Anne
Finucane, Spelman president Helene Gayle and more, evaluated the
semifinalists based on their remarkable accomplishments, powerful
role transitions, significant pivots, and their ability to achieve
at scale.
