The RegTech industry is buzzing: innovation has transformed how we use regulatory technology to deal with ever-increasing requirements and obligations from financial regulations. Who are the people though that move the sector, are the most active on social media channels, blogs and industry events? You know we love lists at PlanetCompliance, so every week we update our list of people that as we find are the key influencers in the field and know what they are talking about when it comes to RegTech. Our scoring algorithm considers the activity across the web and social media channels based on an individual’s Kred Influence and Outreach scores that combines data, for example, from across the web. The algorithm also considers other aspects like how often the individual is mentioned across the web and in the press. And, of course, there is a secret ingredient we’ve added.

As with all lists, it’s not an exact science and we appreciate that you cannot easily measure influence, but we think the people on our list are the ones that contribute significantly to the conversation around RegTech and influence what people believe.
Naturally, some people may not agree with our selection and everyone might want to take it with a pinch of salt, but obviously we would love to hear from you if you consider yourself a RegTech influencer or know someone who should be part of this list. Simply click the ‘join’ button or drop us an email at info@planetcompliance.com . We will review all suggestions, but please understand that PlanetCompliance reserves the right to accept or exclude people from the list as we see it fit.
