Simplebet Elevates Andre Bessette to Chief Product Officer
Simplebet has announced the promotion of Andre Bessette to Chief Product Officer. Bessette, who joined Simplebet in 2019 as Director of Product and was later promoted to VP of Product in 2022, has been an important figure in the company’s development and will now lead its product innovation, operations, and partnerships.
Driving Forward with Live Betting
Before his tenure at Simplebet, Bessette gained significant experience as a Senior Business Analyst at Capital One and later as Manager of Analytics at DraftKings.
His background in data analytics and business strategy has been crucial in shaping the innovative direction at Simplebet.
Bessette’s promotion is part of Simplebet’s broader strategy to expand its product lines and enhance the sports betting experience across the U.S. market.
In his new role, Bessette’s primary focus will be on enhancing Simplebet’s live betting offerings. The company recently launched a game tracker for March Madness, which provides players with a dynamic platform to engage with in-play micro-betting markets through detailed animations, visualizations, and statistical analyses.

Mark Nerenberg, COO of Simplebet, expressed his confidence in Bessette’s leadership, stating, “Andre has played a key role at Simplebet for the last five years and we are delighted to appoint him as Chief Product Officer. We have ambitious plans to expand our offerings over the next 12-18 months, and promoting Andre to CPO shows our commitment to winning with product, technology, and innovation.”
Andre Bessette commented on his new role, “I’m thrilled to be appointed Chief Product Officer here at Simplebet, where we have already enjoyed a fantastic five years of growth and groundbreaking new product launches. It’s an exciting time to expand that live betting leadership to new product lines and give sports bettors the top-tier live betting experience that has been lacking to date in the US market.”
