AFFILIATE MANAGER INTERVIEW SERIES represents was just something I could not refuse. I was utterly honored to be able to work with her. The launching of SlotVibe Partners has truly drawn on every aspect of business and digital that I have learned over the past 20 years. Speaking of Kate, she is a long-time friend of the GPWA (and a former interview subject of the GPWA Times Magazine) and spent decades as an affiliate manager. How much has her experience in the iGaming industry helped you personally and how has it helped shaped the vision of the company? Kate is one of the veterans in iGaming. She started in a very male-dominated industry and was one of the very few females to carve a well-respected career and position in the industry. Her ethics, relationships, dominance and reputation in the industry speaks for itself - I call her the queen! Kate has dedicated hours to mentoring me - working with me many nights and into early hours of the morning. Sharing ideas, wins, joys and frustrations. She calls me her “right hand woman” which is a true honor to be trusted with. She has also helped me find and build a quality network with partners and friends she has worked with over the decades. It’s a position and responsibility I hold with immense pride. Kate has shared her love and passion of the industry with me and our energy together (I know for both of us) is truly infectious and motivating. What has surprised you most about working in the iGaming industry? How such incredible friendships and relationships can be built over Skype, often with affiliates who don’t even show their real name or profile picture!
