Fast Track first International Employer to Pilot Women Mentorship Platform Signe
Fast Track, a leading CRM provider in the iGaming industry, proudly announces its participation in a first-of-its-kind pilot project with women-focused mentorship platform Signe. The Signe platform aims to connect up-and-coming leaders with experienced mentors to share ideas, offer guidance, and build long-standing, trusted relationships, with the ultimate objective of providing opportunities to power women on their path to leadership positions.
This unique partnership provides a mutually beneficial opportunity for both Fast Track and Signe. Women at Fast Track have the chance to connect with inspirational mentors from diverse industries, enhancing their professional experiences. In return, Fast Track’s experienced SaaS professionals explore Signe’s BETA version, offering valuable feedback to improve the platform.
In industries like tech, where women are underrepresented, mentorship proves crucial for career development. Signe’s research reveals that 70% of women view mentoring as a vital career support, with 74% of those with mentors stating they rarely or never feel lost in their careers.
Fast Track is committed to creating a psychologically safe workplace, ensuring equal rights and opportunities for both women and men. Already, 80% of women at Fast Track have tested the Signe platform and started benefitting from mentorship with overwhelming success.
Commenting on the partnership, Jenny Arnell, Chief People Officer at Fast Track stated “I have long admired the vision and work of the founders behind Signe. Their relentless drive and self-confidence to effect change and make an impact resonates deeply with Fast Track’s core values. Fast Track has been a pioneer in streamlining and digitising an entire industry through its SaaS solutions. At the same time, Signe is dedicated to fostering a more equitable workplace, empowering women to ascend to positions of influence through their mentoring platform. Despite operating in distinct industries, our shared commitment to innovation and impact quickly led to the discovery of a mutually beneficial collaboration in the pilot project, resulting in a win-win-win scenario for both companies.”
Jeanna Rutterhill, CEO and co-founder of Signe added ”Since launching Signe in May 2023 we have seen a great response and demand from businesses. We hear from HR directors that this is a great way to reach female mentors, increase diversity, and expand perspectives and competencies. Mentorship for women is in great demand and we know from studies that 70 % of women believe that mentorship is among the most important career support systems available.
We are delighted to run this first pilot with Fast Track which is truly passionate about driving diversity in the tech industry. We are happy to see Jenny Arnell, Chief People Officer of Fast Track leading the change and being an early adopter of Signe and believing in this co-lab.
Simon Lidzén, CEO and co-founder of Fast Track reaffirmed “This collaboration is a step towards shaping a future where different perspectives and voices are given equal space and weight, regardless of gender. With the pilot project, we hope to demonstrate the value of mentorship for women in their careers, and inspire others to identify strategies to further support the women in their organisations.”
Commenting about the experience, Rebecka Frisell Cramfelt, Head of User Adoption at Fast Track stated “I have been lucky to connect with an amazing leader 10-15 years ahead of me in her career and she’s been immensely helpful and generous by sharing her wisdom and advice with me. The sessions have been eye-opening, offering me fresh perspectives and tips for both my professional and personal life.”

Arizona Department of Gaming and Arizona Lottery Announce Proclamation Recognizing September 2025 as Responsible Gaming Education Month
State agencies join forces to raise awareness, promote prevention, and provide tools for safe and responsible play.
The Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) and the Arizona Lottery are proud to announce a joint effort in support of a new Proclamation recognizing September 2025 as Responsible Gaming Education Month in Arizona.
Responsible gaming is about ensuring that individuals who choose to play have the tools, resources, and knowledge they need to make informed decisions and enjoy gaming as a form of entertainment. While problem gambling initiatives focus on helping those already experiencing harm from gambling, responsible gaming emphasizes prevention by encouraging healthy play behaviors before they reach a critical point.
Throughout September, and continuing in the months ahead, the ADG and Arizona Lottery will work together to strengthen education and awareness initiatives. The goal is to equip players with strategies and resources that help them keep gaming fun and safe, while helping reduce the risks associated with problem gambling.
“For over 30 years, the Arizona Department of Gaming has safeguarded the integrity of gaming through strong consumer protections, enforcement against illegal operators, and support services for those impacted by problem gambling,” said Jackie Johnson, Arizona Department of Gaming Agency Director. “During Responsible Gaming Education Month, we remind everyone that part of playing responsibly is being informed—always double-check before you place your bet to ensure you are using a legal, regulated operator at gaming.az.gov/checkyourbet.”
The Arizona Lottery also remains steadfast in its commitment to responsible play and has a Level 2 certification with the World Lottery Association for responsible gaming. Lottery games benefit the people of Arizona by generating critical revenue that funds education, healthcare, environmental conservation, and economic development. At the same time, the Lottery prioritizes the well-being of its players. Each ticket includes clear odds of winning, vending machines display game odds, and the 1-800-NEXT-STEP helpline is featured across Lottery products and advertising.
“We are proud to deliver entertainment that benefits communities across our state, while recognizing our responsibility to promote safe play,” said Alec Thomson, Arizona Lottery Executive Director. “Through transparency and awareness, we want every player to have the tools they need to make informed decisions and enjoy the Lottery responsibly.”
As Arizona observes Responsible Gaming Education Month, ADG and the Arizona Lottery encourage all players to stay informed, know their limits, and seek help if needed. Together, we can ensure that gaming remains a source of entertainment that strengthens, rather than harms, Arizona communities.
For more information and resources, visit gaming.az.gov/ResponsibleGaming or ArizonaLottery.com/ResponsibleGaming. If you or someone you know may be struggling with problem gambling, call or text 1-800-NEXT-STEP for confidential support available 24/7.
