Risa Tabata was the producer of the new Donkey kong country games. Aya Kyogoku directed the last two Animal crossing games. Those are the ones that come to mind.
But who cares? They are good and not because of their gender. People should be hired and promoted based on their merits not on sex, race or other superfitial traits.
