Franchise Fame Founder and CEO Dani Peleva was named a Finalist in the Woman of the Year – Franchising category in the 19th annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business, and will ultimately be a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie Award winner in the program.

The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they run – worldwide. The Stevie Awards have been hailed as the world’s premier business awards.

Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners will be announced during a gala event at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Friday, November 11. Nominated women executives and entrepreneurs from the U.S.A and several other countries are expected to attend. The event will be broadcast on Livestream. 

Over 1,500 entries were submitted this year for consideration in more than 100 categories. Some of the categories include Executive of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Company of the Year, Startup of the Year, Women Helping Women and Women Run Workplace of the Year. This year, Dani Peleva is a Finalist in the Woman of the Year – Franchising category.

Dani has worked tirelessly to create the profound 5Fs Franchising Model, which has been tried and tested with great success across numerous franchise operations and locations around the world. Her bestselling book Franchise Fame: An insider’s marketing guide to incremental growth and soaring success for franchisors is one of her most recent achievements in the franchising industry, in which she is considered a prominent thought leader. As such, she is often invited to speak at podcasts and other industry events. Dani is thrilled at being shortlisted as a Finalist and has extended warm congratulations to all those who were nominated in the same category. 


Finalists were determined by the average scores of more than 200 business professionals around the world, working on seven juries. Their scores will also determine the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award placements that will be revealed at the 19th annual awards dinner and presentations in Las Vegas.

Alongside the awards dinner and presentation will also be the Women/Future Conference, which is a three-day educational and networking event that will be held virtually from 8 to 10 November. 

President of the Stevie Awards Maggie Miller commented that the 19th edition of the Awards received an impressive collection of outstanding nominations. She further mentioned that she and the team are looking forward to recognising all the winners at the event in Las Vegas in November. 

Dani believes that the recognition as a Finalist in the Stevie Awards “is a wonderful achievement that I am truly humbled by”. As a professional who is entirely dedicated to the franchising industry, she continues to make great inroads into helping franchisors and franchisees achieve and exceed their marketing objectives through bespoke packages that have impressive results and which lead to exponential growth.
