🏆 First in the nation.
Our Lee Business School team won the 2026 IMA Student Case Competition after advancing through a field of 30 teams and competing in the national finals in Tampa.
The students analyzed sales and market data to determine whether a regional fresh food distributor should pursue a new retail partnership in the Hass avocado market.
According to faculty advisor Daniel Siciliano, the team’s analysis was strong, but their polished, energetic presentation is what set them apart.
Congratulations to team captain Lisandro Zamora, team members Hermoigne Sarmiento, Dana Pham, Milla Santos, Joseph “Choco” Victorio, and faculty advisor Daniel Siciliano.
