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. The honor recognizes her leadership in scaling one of the most prominent companies in skill-based mobile entertainment. Since founding AviaGames in 2017, Chen has executed a focused growth strategy—expanding the company’s portfolio, strengthening its competitive ecosystem, and positioning it as a leader in real cash games within the mobile industry.

Driven by a mission to make competitive mobile experiences more accessible and community-focused, Chen led the launch of Pocket7Games and expanded the lineup with standout titles such as Solitaire Clash, Bingo Tour, and 8 Ball Strike. These games attract millions of players who want structured competitions and the opportunity to play games for real money in skill-centered environments. Frequently ranked among the best games in their categories, these titles are known for polished gameplay, balanced competitive formats, and consistent player engagement. Today, the AviaGames platform powers hundreds of millions of monthly tournaments, reflecting sustained growth in the skill-based real cash games market.

Beyond product innovation, Chen has embedded social responsibility into the company’s foundation. In 2025, AviaGames raised more than $220,000 through its Play for Paws initiative in support of the Nevada SPCA, linking in-game participation with community impact. The company also partnered with Foster Love for the Wonderland Wishes campaign within Solitaire Clash, raising $136,000 to support youth in foster care. Chen’s Stevie Awards recognition highlights not only business success but also her leadership philosophy—often referred to as the “Avia Spirit”—which emphasizes player-first innovation, operational excellence, and sustainable long-term growth both on and off the screen.
