Better Collective appoints former Microsoft president to executive board

Sports betting platform provider Better Collective has appointed Microsoft’s former president for Western Europe Klaus Holse, to its board of directors.

Holse is currently the CEO of investment management software solutions SimCorp and sits on the board of two other tech companies.

A Better Collective statement said Holse brought an “unmatched level of experience that will help drive the tech company forward”, and his addition to the board would assist the firm in driving its global technical strategy further.

Jesper Søgaard, CEO of Better Collective said: “We are truly excited to have Klaus join our board.

“Better Collective has always considered digital innovation as one of its core competences, and Klaus’ expertise will help us develop even further.”

“The aggregator platforms that Better Collective have already built has truly piqued my interest,” Klaus Holse added

Holse’s appointment follows the recent stepping down of Better Collective board’s chairman, Jens Bager, in August.
