Another modern name in the realm of gaming is Bonnie Ross, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft's Xbox Game Studios and head of 343 Industries. When it comes to major industry players, it’s tough to find a woman who holds a more prestigious role than Ross.

This is because Microsoft is not only a dominating force within the gaming industry, the 343 Industries subsidiary currently presides over the Halo series.

While Ross is undoubtedly high on the list of modern women in gaming thanks to her roles at Microsoft and 343, it’s worth noting that Ross has actually worked at Microsoft dating as far back as 1994. With over 20 years of experience, we can’t help but tip our hats to Ross and her many achievements.
