“It’s truly humbling and an honor to be recognized by the business community,” said Delgado. “In a field traditionally dominated by men, this recognition helps highlight that gender no longer limits career path opportunities.

Estimates indicate less than 20 percent of security and surveillance industry positions are held by women, and only a small fraction of those hold leadership roles, making Delgado’s rise to the top spot even more notable. In her position, Delgado leads a high-performing team responsible for operating a state-of-the-art surveillance system and monitoring billions of dollars of gaming activity by an estimated nine million annual visitors, as well as the largest private workforce in New York’s third largest city. The highly regulated industry requires that Delgado ensure adherence to extensive policies and procedures and enforce compliance with all company, state and federal regulations. Upon being acquired by MGM Resorts in January 2019, Empire City Casino immediately became the largest casino floor in the MGM Resorts fleet and the sixth largest in the country.
