## Resource

Is the gaming industry really struggling to find talent — or are companies simply looking in the same places? In this episode of iGaming Daily, live from SBC Summit Americas 2026, Ana Maria Menezes speaks with Kweku Sapara-Grant, Director of External Affairs at Lotto.com and board member of African Americans In Gaming, about inclusivity, hiring, leadership and why diversity should be viewed as a sustainable business strategy. The conversation explores how the gaming industry is changing, why younger and more diverse professionals are reshaping the sector, and how businesses can benefit from broadening the voices they bring into the room. In this episode: ✅ Why the gaming industry needs new voices ✅ Whether companies are looking for talent in the wrong places ✅ How inclusive workplaces can improve business performance ✅ Why diversity is not separate from merit ✅ The role of AI and bias in hiring ✅ Why representation matters at leadership level ✅ How diverse voices help businesses avoid costly mistakes ✅ Why inclusivity can drive innovation and long-term growth ✅ What leaders can do to build more open company cultures As Kwaku explains, diversity is not just a moral duty it is also a business advantage. Companies that want to innovate, reach new audiences and build stronger teams need to make sure more people are heard, seen and given the chance to get through the door. #iGamingDaily #Inclusivity #DiversityAndInclusion #GamingIndustry #iGaming #Lotto #AfricanAmericanGaming #SBCSummitAmericas #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #GamingCareers
