Virtual Lions' Den
Quick Pitch Presentation
- Date: June 4th, 2020
- Time: 10 am EDT
- Location: Online
- Delegates: 50+
The LSA Lions’ Den is the place to see some of the latest solutions to enable Loyalty Programs to be more secure from Fraud, Data Breaches, and Policy Abuse.
This fast-paced session had 3 innovative companies pitching their Loyalty Fraud-related solutions (whether this is a product, service, or even just an idea) for 5 minutes each to our esteemed panel of “Lions” (judges), all of whom have extensive Loyalty or Fraud experience. The pitching companies then faced 5 minutes of questioning by the Lions. At the end of the pitches and questions, the Lions took a little time to deliberate before choosing the Best Pitch and the Best Product of the day. ArkOwl took both the audience and judges’ Best Pitch Award, Accertify won the Best Product Award.
While we waited on the judges, the audience voted on their choice for Best Pitch, and our moderator interviewed Lewis Duker from SecuredTouch, the winner of the Best Product award at our previous Lions’ Den in London in February.
Lions (judges):
- Christopher Williams, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
- Morgan Kelly, CEO, Tag Innovation
- Iain Webster, Loyalty Consultant, Collinson
Raphaël Bejar, Chief Commercial Officer, Conztanz
