My experience from working with Nikola is that he is hard working, honest and reliable. He is good natured which makes him a pleasure to deal with and he is prepared to take the initiative where appropriate. Nikola's multilingual skills are extremely useful and he will be an asset to any organisation.

      The goal and strategy were to promote Leapbit's products and solutions (retail, and online sports betting, including the SSBT )to the broad Gaming community. The fact that they already were operational in some of TIER 1 companies in East Europe operators made it much easier for my role. I recognized the quality of their product, got acquainted with their structure and mission, and started to create a strategy and road map that would enable us to achieve our goal successfully. Clear communication and frequent online meetings with top management were a source of valuable information for me. To get to know the organization as well as possible, I often visited the company's headquarters and transferred my observations to the strategy. Developing the Business Strategy and the leads we made during numerous presentations gave birth to an extraordinary opportunity to deliver its sports betting solution to a Tier 1 Company in a very demanding market. Working and listening to the market movements and trends led to one of my outstanding achievements, the successful merging of Leapbit with EveryMatrix. The merging of these two companies will have far-reaching positive effects on the two companies and will positively disrupt the gaming industry. Show less
