Top 100 Fintech Influencers on Social Media

Refinitiv’s top 100 fintech influencers based on twitter and LinkedIn data

The top 100 fintech influencers on social media according to financial data firm Refinitiv: Jim Marous is topping the list.

A few weeks ago, I noticed a LinkedIn update from my good friend Jim Marous. By the way, this is another example of the power of social media in B2B.

Unarguably, we are constantly bombarded with “top influencer” lists. A new one pop up on monthly, if not weekly basis.

Some with very little intelligence, relying essentially on keywords and volume of mentions. Some relying on more research and a broader set of data and insights.

It looks like Refinitv‘s #RefinitivSocial100 falls into the latter category.

#RefinitivSocial100 Methodology

As part of their methodology, they worked with “a team of analysts who are specialised in social media” and date from twitter and LinkedIn to compile a list of 300 global fintech influencers.

They used essentially 4 criteria: impressions, relevance, resonance and reach.

It is always great to see so many of my industry friends recognised like Jim Marous, Duena Blomstrom, Chris Skinner, Brett King, Brad Leimer, JP Nicols, Liz Lumley, Matteo Rizzi, Nasir Zubairi and my fellow countryman Xavier Gomez to name a few.

Nevertheless, how come other top fintech influencers like the brilliant and prolific Theo Lau didn’t make the top 100 list?

Lastly, I have never come across any content from a good third of the heralded financial services professionals on the list… but I guess this is partly why those lists exist: they help you to identify new valuable sources of insights and thought leadership, right?
