About Pernilla

Pernilla Sjöholm is known as one of the victims in the documentary "The Tinder Swindler".
She lectures on fraud and the view of victims of crime with her personal, completely unique story as a starting point.

Pernilla Sjöholm became world famous overnight from the Netflix documentary "The Tinder Swindler". As one of the victims of the notorious fraudster Simon Leviev, Pernilla Sjöholm was scammed out of over SEK 600,000. The reactions from the audience were to some extent supportive and positive – but also mocking and mean.

She had to find creative ways to turn the tide of adversity, not only for the money she lost, but also for the shame she felt that the whole world knew about her story. Today, she is ready to fight against the shameful view of victims.

Why should you book Pernilla Sjöholm?

Title 1

She shows that it is worth putting predators in place who exploit others, even when it feels difficult.

Positive change

In order to create a positive change, it is basically always worth fighting against the forces that want yourself and others evil. When thoughtfulness and the future are allowed to judge, you always come out as a winner against someone who exploits others – Sjöholm is an example of this. Pernilla Sjöholm is a natural and sympathetic speaker who has no problem today being able to reflect and laugh at her missteps and share her lessons.

Unique Story

Pernilla Sjöholm has a unique story that she conveys during her lecture. There are few who become world famous overnight – and even fewer who become so by honestly and openly describing a huge betrayal she suffered and her personal thoughts when it happened. It is an inspiring and recognisable lecture that touches.

Expertise in Fraud

She has become more interested and familiar with what fraud actually is, how it affects the victim and the stigma that comes with being "scammed". AI technology is also being exploited by scammers around the world, making it even harder to know what's real and what's not. She talks about how this downside of AI is already a big threat today, and will be an even bigger threat in the future.

Co-founder

She also talks about how important it is to be able to turn adversity into opportunities and lessons. Today, a couple of years later, she is the mother of twins and runs her own company. The challenges nowadays are about a little more "normal" ones, such as combining motherhood with working life. However, the principles for tackling setbacks and challenges are the same, and Sjöholm shows what she has done to come back from total defeat – or at least what in the moment feels like total defeat.
