“Who’s Who” Introduction

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.

All the influential experts featured are categorised by influencer persona, the sector they work in, their role within that sector, and more from our curated database of 1m+ influencers.

We are striving for this report to be a One-Stop Shop for the Movers & Shakers of the industry so any feedback to further improve the lists is always gratefully received.

Introduction to Fintech

Fintech aims to challenge the finance industry by improving and automating the delivery and use of financial services. Fintech is employed to help companies and consumers better manage financial operations and processes.

It is an umbrella term covering an extensive number of services including mobile payments, challenger banks, insurtech, blockchain, cryptocurrency & crowdfunding platforms.

“Much of the movement that is Fintech has, up until now, been focussed on optimising our 20th Century model of financial services. Fintech has done great work by making the holding and movement of money quicker, cheaper and smarter but we are reaching innovation saturation. In the future we'll see Fintech companies moving beyond optimising current models and breaking new ground with whole new definitions of banking and money.” Chris Gledhill, Independent Fintech Advisor, Futurist, Writer & Speaker

This report aims to provides you with a sample of influential voices discussing Fintech online. You will find different influential personas ranging from Social Amplifiers, Event Speakers & Industry KOLs to industry experts discussing Blockchain, Cryptocurrency & Insurtech as these are important pillars of the overall Fintech conversation.

Methodology

Our Who’s Who lists are created using the Onalytica platform which has a curated database of over 1 million influencers. Our platform allows you to discover, validate and categorise influencers quickly and easily via keyword searches. Our lists are made using carefully created Boolean queries which then rank influencers by resonance, relevance, reach and reference, meaning influencers are not only ranked by themselves, but also by how much other influencers are referring to them. The lists are then validated, and filters are used to split the influencers up into the categories that are seen in the list.

This Who’s Who list should give you an insight into Fintech and help break it down. We always want to make sure you are getting the most valuable information available from our lists, so feedback is always welcome!

If you want to learn more about Onalytica, or if you’d like to see our platform in action, feel free to get in touch!
