Winners were selected based on employee and peer nominations, with over 170 finalists up for consideration in the final rounds of judging. This year’s winners also represented seven of our marketplaces plus the Adevinta Corporate team too.
Rolv Erik Ryssdal, CEO commented: “The Adevinta Awards are the cornerstone of our recognition programme and form an integral part of our company culture. The awards event is a key moment for us to join together as a team to celebrate the achievements of our talented colleagues. Congratulations to each of our winners, and to all Adevintans for their continued commitment and proven agility during what has been an exceptional year.”
The event, attended by over 1,500 employees virtually for the second year running, replaces Adevinta’s annual in-person event and ceremony. In previous years, all awards finalists from across the world and local brands were invited to attend the event, and had the opportunity to meet with their peers, learn from each other and celebrate their outstanding achievements.
