Cass entrepreneur nominated for prestigious Association of MBAs Award

LONDON - Oct. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Cass Business School alumni Simo Dragicevic has been named as a finalist in this year's Association of MBAs 'Entrepreneurial Venture' Award. Simo is the founder & CEO of Bet Buddy, a data analytics business which helps gaming companies to better understand their customers through sophisticated, data-driven insight.

Bet Buddy has initially focused on the gaming industry, where increasing regulation and a growing need for companies to responsibly manage customers has led to strong interest from sector stakeholders.

Jane Reoch, Investment Director, Cass Entrepreneurship Fund, said: "We are delighted that Simo has been shortlisted for the Entrepreneurial Venture Award. Bet Buddy is a great example of a young innovative business, and we wish the team every success."

Simo said: "I am excited about the nomination for Association of MBAs Entrepreneurial Awards this year and I am looking forward to the Gala Dinner with Cass Business School."

The awards judging panel will include Bill Morrow, Founder and CEO of Angels Den; Alpesh Patel, Director of Praefinium Partners Ltd; Cathal Brady, founder of Ultan Technologies; and banking professional Luis Juste.
