Top 10 List -- U.S. eCommerce and Retail. Pretty cool to see this!
We were recently ranked #7 among U.S. eCommerce & Retail LinkedIn executive influencers, alongside executives from Amazon, Walmart, PepsiCo, McDonald’s, Gap and DICK’S.
Summary:
48,000 followers
93.9/100 LinkedIn score
#7 in the U.S.
That said, what I’m most proud of is what we’ve built around it.
The Big Question:
What makes an executive on any platform worth following?
For me, it’s never been about posting for the sake of posting (contrary to other strategies I have seen - don't come at me in the DM's).
It’s about sharing what you’re learning, having a point of view, and hopefully helping someone else along the way!
By the Numbers
The Top 10:
1️⃣ Richard Dickson, CEO, Gap
2️⃣ Chris Kempczinski, CEO, McDonald's’s
3️⃣ Lauren Hobart, CEO, DICK'S Sporting Goods
4️⃣ Ram Krishnan, CEO, PepsiCo North America
5️⃣ Doug Herrington, CEO, Worldwide Amazon Stores
6️⃣ Nate Rosen, Morning Brew
7️⃣ Don “eCommerce” Brett, Pattern / The CPG View / The Retail eCommerce Club
8️⃣ William White, CMO, Walmart
9️⃣ Rachel Ferdinando, CEO, PepsiCo Foods U.S.
1️⃣0️⃣ Glenn McMahon, Mac Group - Business Advisory & Consulting
What I’d Do:
1. Have a point of view and say what you actually think.
2. Stay close to the people doing the work. That’s where I learn the most!
3. Share what you learn. If it helped you, there’s a good chance it can help someone else ... atleast that is how it has worked for me.
4. Build around a mission bigger than followers (Quality over Quantity).
Ours is simple:
1/ Educate 2/ Encourage 3/Empower.
Everything we do is grounded in four values:
1/ Collaboration 2/ Career Enrichment 3/ Community 4/ Connectivity.
Final Thought:
The rankings are fun, but the impact matters more in my opinion.
If something we share helps someone learn, make a better decision, advance their career, or make a valuable connection ... then we’re doing what we set out to do.
48,000 people have chosen to come along for the ride.
Thank you!!!
