At Xsolla, expanding into new markets means navigating complex legal environments across hundreds of jurisdictions. We are thrilled to share that Esq., Chief Administrative & Legal Officer Carla Bedrosian has been nominated for the 2026 Los Angeles Times Inspirational Women Leadership Award, presented by LA Times Studios. The annual awards honor women driving significant industry impact across Southern California.
Building Legal Infrastructure for Global Expansion
Since joining Xsolla in early 2024, Carla has spearheaded the growth of a robust, inclusive legal team. Serving as a merchant of record in more than 200 geographies with support for 1,000+ local payment options requires seamlessly integrating legal operations with core business goals. Under Carla's leadership, Xsolla has built a solid foundation that lets video game developers reach global audiences while staying fully compliant in every market.
"Every time a developer reaches players in a new country through Xsolla, Carla's team has already done the work to make that possible," said Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla. "She built a legal function to move at the speed of our business across more than 200 markets, allowing our partners to grow with confidence." A Year of Industry Recognition This nomination represents Carla's fourth major industry honor in the past 12 months. She was previously listed among the top In-House CLOs by LA Times Studios, named a finalist for Law.com's Innovative Leaders award, and recognized alongside VP of Legal and Operations Natalia Voziyan as a finalist for OnConferences' Top 50 Corporate Counsel Award.
"This nomination belongs to our entire global legal team, who keep Xsolla open for business in hundreds of markets and help developers grow and thrive there with confidence," shared Carla Bedrosian. "Our job is to clear the path so developers can sell directly to players anywhere in the world." Looking Ahead Winners will be announced during the Inspirational Women Forum & Leadership Awards dinner on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at the Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica.
