INFLUENTIAL THIRTY
Marketers in B2B Saas
THE FINITE
With the majority of FINITE members working in and around SaaS, this list serves to provide congratulatory recognition for leading marketers in the sector – those who have the largest influence on B2B growth.
These candidates are leveraging, not only talent, but creativity, agility, an understanding of the market and the support of peer-to-peer resources that counteract nuanced challenges with shared experience and innovation.
That’s why we’re proud to say 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.
