INFLUENTIAL THIRTY
Marketers in Sustainability
THE FINITE
Sustainability tech marketing is about more than hitting revenue and growth targets. It’s about creating a more egalitarian and prosperous world that protects our most precious resources.
That’s why we’re proud to recognise the trailblazing marketers in Sustainability Tech. These leaders are driving widespread adoption of their technologies, leading marketing for the fastest growing sustainability techs in 2023.
Those recognised will receive more for their hard work than just a trophy, with invitations to exclusive senior networking groups and executive visibility across the FINITE network via our podcasts and events.
So, how is this measured? For this year’s list we’ve analyzed numerous data points via Crunchbase and Google Trends to ascertain each marketer’s impact on a business, alongside their personal achievements.
