Proud to be an Onalytica Top 100 Fintech Influential Voice

November 16, 2021 by Rich Turrin

Onalytica is like the “Oscars” for fintech and I’m exceedingly proud to be a Top 100 voice in the community.

Onalytica has been creating Top 100 Influencer lists for the past 10 years, connecting brands with influencer communities. The marketplace is now looking to understand who is influential beyond Twitter social amplifiers. Over recent years there have been more and more companies producing lists based on Twitter followers. We want to break away from that.

Each Who’s Who report will provide you with the top Social Influencers, Content Creators, Event Speakers, Industry Analysts, Brand Employees, Brands and Publications across individual topics such as AI, Climate Change, The Future of Work, FinTech, Energy Policy, Obesity, etc.

The influential experts are selected using Onalytica’s 4 Rs methodology (Reach, Resonance, Relevance and Reference). Quantitative data is pulled through LinkedIn, Twitter, Personal Blogs, YouTube, Podcast, and Forbes channels, and our qualitative data is pulled by our insights and analytics team, capturing offline influence.
