GLI’s Chief Commercial Officer Ian Hughes has won the Emerging Technology award at the 2024 Top Tech Awards in Las Vegas, recognizing his efforts to improve operational efficiency and ensure the gaming sector adapts to emerging technologies responsibly.
The Top Tech Awards, a partnership between Vegas Inc and Cox Business, aims to highlight tech leaders for their innovative work in the local business community. Recipients are selected by an independent panel of judges based on their achievements, company and community impact, and major projects.
Hughes, who also serves as CEO of GLI Australia and of GLI Japan, stands at the forefront of technological advancement, the organizers said, including staying abreast of regulatory issues such as anti-money laundering, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
“Hughes has helped develop GLI’s award-winning Test Automation services, enhancing testing quality and significantly reducing time-to-market for gaming devices,” they added. “He was also a leader in the creation of GLI’s Change Management Program Guide, a free resource to anyone in the gaming community that outlines best practice guidance, industry standards and proper regulatory oversight. His visionary approach has not only improved operational efficiency but also ensured that the gaming sector adapts to emerging technologies responsibly.”
