There are few better examples of a disruptive innovation than Facebook where Mark Zuckerberg has — regardless of controversies — irrevocably changed the face of social and traditional media.Given that, I’m writing to suggest a story about how Fort Mason Games Founder and CEO Kate Gorman may just be the Mark Zuckerberg of mobile gaming.
- HAVING UPENDING MOBILE CASINO GAMING, THE LOTTERY IS IN HER SIGHTS. With Confetti Casino, Gorman and company completely changed how people play and interact on mobile casino style games. Now with the digital scratch-off game, Lucky Scratch, they are taking on the $77.7 B lottery behemoth and bringing it into the digital arena by providing an ad-sponsored, free to play, game where consumers digitally scratch and win real cash.
- SHE’S DONE IT ALL ONCE BEFORE. Gorman was the youngest Director of Product in Zynga’s history. Tasked with launching their casino gaming division, she took it from $0 to $300 million. Having disrupted the way a gaming giant works on the inside she’s targeting the entire industry itself.
Gorman was the highest ranking woman at Zynga before founding Fort Mason Games to create games for women by women. She is also a 2019 winner of Forbes 30 Under 30.
