Allwyn North America Leadership & Management

Describe the woman on your team you wish to highlight and why you chose to showcase her. 

Emilia Mazur, vice president of corporate affairs, oversees our corporate affairs team, including our public relations, public affairs and corporate social responsibility departments. Her leadership is invaluable to our team. She is a sharp, witty and knowledgeable woman with an extensive background and experience in the lottery and gaming industry. Beyond her excellent team leadership, she’s a delightful person to be around and makes our work environment an even more enjoyable place to be.

How have you seen this woman inspire you or others on your team to do more?

Emilia consistently inspires me and others on our team by encouraging us to be proactive and take on challenges that push us to grow. She has a keen ability to recognize potential in people and isn’t afraid to challenge them in ways that ultimately lead to professional growth.

She recently approached me with an opportunity to take on a leadership role within a project of our larger, global organization. Her confidence in my talent and skillset has motivated me to rise to the occasion when new opportunities arise, and as a result, I’ve delivered higher-quality work and developed new skills. Emilia creates an environment where challenges aren’t something to shy away from but rather opportunities to learn and improve. Her approach helps individuals advance in their careers and drives the entire team toward achieving bigger business goals.

How has this woman’s encouragement informed the way you face challenges in your professional and/or personal life?

Emilia’s encouragement has had an impact on the way I face challenges in both my professional and personal life. One of my favorite things about Emilia is her incredibly sharp, witty sense of humor. I remember even in my first week at Allwyn, she had me laughing, immediately breaking the ice and making me feel welcomed as the new person on the team. I also admire and respect how decisive she is, which helps to create an environment where obstacles feel more manageable and we can work efficiently. Thanks to Emilia’s guidance, I’ve learned to approach challenges with a lighter heart and a clearer mind, knowing that even the toughest moments can be met with both resilience and a smile.
