Deborah Pandit-Sawaf, Founder & CEO of The Power of Words, joins the Global Esports Federation Health & Wellness Commission, bringing a powerful focus on emotional intelligence in leadership.

As esports continues to grow as a global platform, the conversation around well-being must evolve alongside it, from physical health to the emotional and mental resilience that underpins performance, leadership, and community.

“Words shape culture, and culture shapes performance. In esports, emotional intelligence is not a soft skill. It is a leadership imperative that influences how we compete, collaborate, and care for one another.”
~ Deborah Pandit-Sawaf, Founder & CEO, The Power of Words

Through her work, Deborah will support the HWC’s mission to advance holistic player well-being, from addressing physical challenges such as injury and lifestyle-related conditions to strengthening the emotional frameworks that sustain individuals and teams.

“We are delighted to welcome Deborah to the Health & Wellness Commission at a pivotal moment for esports. Her expertise in emotional intelligence strengthens our commitment to safeguarding not just how players perform, but how they thrive, as individuals, leaders, and members of a global community.”
~ Dr Melita N. Moore, Chair, GEF Health & Wellness Commission

Together, we continue to shape a healthier, more sustainable future for esports, where performance and well-being go hand in hand.

From orbit to opportunity. 🌍🚀

The future of global connectivity, security, innovation, and economic expansion is being shaped through the convergence of space, defense, AI, simulation, and digital connectivity.

The Global Esports Federation is pleased to support our partners at Los Angeles Times Studios for the Aerospace & Defense Summit on 15 May 2026 at NantStudios in Los Angeles.

These same technologies are also powering the digital future of LATMG+ and the emerging innovation ecosystem taking shape in Los Angeles, positioning the city and the growing campus in El Segundo, at the intersection of space, defense, technology, digital connectivity, and the future workforce.

The conversations shaping tomorrow’s connected future are already underway, and the GEF looks forward to engaging in dialogue that connects innovation, creativity, technology, and global impact across the evolving digital landscape.
