Jane Cavanagh, taken from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2005/12/28/ccwomen28.xml#13Talk about great women in the games industry! Jane Cavanagh, CEO of the SCi Entertainment Group, got the Order of the British Empire award for helping the UK games industry grow.

Working in the games industry for almost twenty years, she actually started out by creating SCi, with the hit game Carmageddon helping to increase her company's visibility. Now, SCi owns Eidos, Crystal Dynamics, and IO interactive, among others, cementing its place as one of the industry's bigwigs. Their popularity has also garnered the attention of Time-Warner, who has purchased a 10.3% stake in the company.

Originally given to honor those who had served noncombat roles during the First World War, it's now awarded to people who've helped make British society and culture grow in one respect or another. We can certainly say she deserves it. Grats to her!
