Las Vegas-based mobile gaming firm PlayStudios has named human resources veteran and executive coach Stephanie Rosol as its first chief people performance officer.
Rosol, who previously consulted for the company, has 25 years of leadership development, executive coaching and human resources experience in the gaming, technology and hospitality sectors. Her prior engagements with PlayStudios, its leadership and employees, known as playMAKERS, will enable her to strengthen the company culture and its ability to execute future plans.
“Having witnessed Stephanie Rosol’s incredible work first-hand, she is without question the most qualified and forward-thinking person to lead our company’s coaching, culture-building, diversity, and philanthropic efforts,” says PlayStudios Chairman and CEO Andrew Pascal.
“Her passion is helping teams and individuals achieve their full potential, and we look forward to having her engage with our playMAKERS on a full-time basis.”
In her new role, Rosol will partner with company leaders to advance five key areas: culture, coaching and development, diversity, organizational design and philanthropy. She has also been named chairwoman of the playMAKER Experience Council, a cross-studio working group whose mandate is to optimize all aspects of the employee experience. She will also head the company’s philanthropic foundation.
“Working as an ‘outsider on the inside’ over the last four years has prepared me to identify opportunities to support playMAKERS at all levels in the pursuit of their goals. With teams and studios in cities around the world, my work is really about connecting folks so that we can best leverage our collective intelligence within the company,” Rosol said.
She previously served as vice president of human resources for Wynn Resorts, where she worked alongside Pascal. During her tenure, Rosol oversaw the dramatic expansion of the Wynn workforce as the company opened its second resort, Encore Las Vegas, in 2008. Under her leadership, Wynn Resorts earned and maintained a 100 percent rating on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.
