I was delighted to be invited to be part of the judging panel for the second annual SuperOps MSP Awards, which took place at the end of 2023! It was a great experience, and all the entrants deserve recognition for their efforts. However, there could only be 10 winners! Read on to learn more about them.
What are the SuperOps MSP Awards?
First held in 2022, the SuperOps MSP Awards are a way to champion and celebrate the best and brightest talent in the tech space. As SuperOps themselves say:
“It’s time hard-working MSPs stepped out of the shadows and into the spotlight. The Awards are a gala not merely of victory, but a celebration of unyielding spirit.
“Every single nomination we received was a testimony to MSPs being champions of their work. Being an MSP is definitely not easy and we want to say ‘Thank you for your service’. Not ALL superheroes wear capes.”
The Judges and Our Process
It was great to join some of the best-known names in the IT space, especially as I’m good friends with most of them! But we had our work cut out for us – there were over 250 nominations in 10 different categories.
My fellow judges were:
- Author and speaker Karl Palachuk
- MSP marketing expertPaul Green
- MSP growth expert Ian Luckett
- Speaker and author Fiona Challis
- MSP and channel growth expert Dave Sutton
- Founder, CEO and executive leader Amy Luby
We were looking for MSP owners who worked hard to go above and beyond for their clients. Or they had a great product, or were active in the community. So you can imagine it was a tough call to choose only a handful of winners!
