He features in the top 5 influencers within the CIO and IT Management category and is also one of the 10 most influential individuals in our overall CIO rankings.”
Finney stated that “having the deep background of serving as both as a CIO and an IT advisor, I’ve been able to sharpen my sensitivity in identifying and sharing the latest information and approaches which provide immediate value and insight for a busy IT executive.”
“Being highly engaged as a Top 5 Influencer with leading CIOs on multiple platforms and the resulting open exchange of practical information is extremely valuable to our mutual followers, and it is also highly impactful to others who are listening in order to stay current on leading edge IT practices and opportunities. It’s an honor to be ranked as a Top 5 Influencer in this report, and my firm the itmWEB Group LLC and its partners will continue to provide great insights, news, and information for helping connected CIOs be innovative and successful.”
