THE FINITE
Marketers in enterprise tech organisations have to make best use of budget and resources not just to innovate their own functions, but B2B as a whole.
That’s what these lists are about – celebrating and rewarding the marketing leaders at the forefront of enterprise tech who are propelling the industry forward. Winners will receive more 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.
