Reine Abbas - Lebanese woman who succeeded in Technology

Only two years ago Reine Abbas was name as one of the five most powerful women in the gaming industry, and it’s easy to see why.

Abbas launched game development company Wixel Studios in 2007, alongside her husband and business partner. Focusing largely on games with a political bent, Wixel’s products have been downloaded regularly across the world. Popular titles include Survival Race, and Little Heroes, Big Deeds - an edutainment game aimed at children. As managing partner and lead artist, Abbas has her hands full, but still finds time to be an active educator in gaming, programming, and design.
