Michelle Ann Chatigny is currently Vice President of Compliance for International Game Technology, a publicly traded corporation listed on The New York Stock Exchange and the largest manufacturer and distributor of slot machines in the world.  Michelle is responsible for ensuring IGT’s compliance with gaming laws in all jurisdictions (approximately 214 at last count!) where the company does business; obtaining and maintaining gaming licenses; and monitoring the suitability of IGT’s business operations, transactions and associations.  Michelle oversees the activities of IGT’s International, Product and Regulatory Compliance Departments.  Michelle has been with IGT for 7 years, having joined IGT’s Compliance Department in 1994, when she was convinced by a close friend and former supervisor to leave the Nevada State Gaming Control Board.

Michelle has almost 15 years of experience in the gaming industry, beginning in 1986 when she became an agent in the Nevada State Gaming Control Board’s Corporate Securities Division, and after only two years she was promoted to the position of Senior Agent.  In 1989 she transferred to the Nevada State Gaming Control Board’s Investigations Divisions, becoming its first female Senior Agent in history.  Prior to her work with the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, Michelle worked for 12 years in the banking industry, first in California with Sumitomo Bank, and then in Nevada with Nevada National Bank, starting as an Assistant Operations Officer and eventually moving up to serve as a commercial loan officer for Nevada National Bank in Reno.
