AviaGames CEO and co-founder Vickie Chen has been named a finalist for Best Female CEO of the Year at the 2025 Stevie® Women in Business Awards, recognizing her leadership in scaling one of the leading companies in skill-based mobile gaming. The honor highlights Chen’s role in driving both business growth and long-term strategic vision since founding the company in 2017.
Chen co-founded AviaGames with the goal of making skill-based mobile games more accessible and community-driven. Under her leadership, the company launched Pocket7Games and expanded its portfolio with titles such as Solitaire Clash, Bingo Tour, and 8 Ball Strike. These titles have reached millions of players and are frequently recognized among the best games in their respective categories for their competitive structure, polished gameplay, and player-focused design. Today, AviaGames hosts hundreds of millions of monthly tournaments, reflecting sustained player engagement and platform growth.
Beyond product development, Chen has emphasized corporate responsibility as a core component of AviaGames’ identity. In 2025, the company’s Play for Paws initiative raised more than $220,000 in support of the Nevada SPCA, combining in-game participation with community engagement to benefit animals in need. The company also partnered with Foster Love to launch Wonderland Wishes, a holiday campaign integrated into Solitaire Clash that raised $136,000 to support youth in foster care. Both initiatives demonstrate how gaming platforms can connect entertainment with measurable community impact.
Chen’s recognition as a Stevie Awards finalist underscores her broader leadership philosophy — often referred to internally as the “Avia Spirit” — which prioritizes players, innovation, excellence, and sustainable growth. As AviaGames continues expanding its portfolio of competitive mobile titles, the company remains focused on delivering high-quality gaming experiences while building initiatives that extend beyond the screen.
