Ten years of experience.

Since 2013, I have successfully managed over 150 competitions, handled tens of thousands of entries, and supported hundreds of jury members. With that experience, I believe I deserve my self-appointed title "Queen of Awards".


The journey began with Penetrace Awards in 2013 when we first engaged with an award solution in Norway. Within a year, we launched a platform and services in Sweden, experiencing significant growth from managing two awards to becoming the largest provider of award services in both Sweden and Norway. In 2020, we formed a partnership with Award Force, a new SaaS-platform, enhancing our business's efficiency and autonomy. In 2023, Awardly acquired the award services from Penetrace and now operates as a reseller for Award Force. This successful combination of a reliable platform and exceptional service has propelled our journey.

Who runs Awardly?

I started Awardly when I had the opportunity to buy the established business area "Penetrace Awards" from my old employer Penetrace. For ten years, I worked as a product- and project manager within Awards, both in Sweden and Norway. During the last four years at Penetrace, I was the only one working with Awards and had the responsibility for the business area, so there were no major changes when I decided to run the competitions under my own direction. Same customers, same contacts, and same Awards!

I have over 25 years of experience in marketing, market research, technical support, and project management. My roots are from Sweden and Jamaica, and I grew up in Gothenburg. I moved to Providence, USA to pursue my bachelor's degree in Marketing, returned to Sweden with stints in London and Brussels for work, and finally settled in Stockholm.
