While doing my normal surf of the Internet blogs and sites relevant to our industry, I came across MSP Mentor, a website/blog for managed service providers. Lo and behold, it turns out I am on the MSP Mentors top 250 list of MSP CEO's. While it's an honor to be recognized, its even better when you find out some person nominated your name and accomplishments for you! The info below is straight from the mspmentor.net where the list resides, and describes how one gets on "the list".

To Your success,

So, what’s the difference between the MSPmentor 100 (unveiled each January) and the MSPmentor 250 (unveiled each July)? It’s simple: While the MSPmentor 100 focuses on the world’s most successful managed service provider businesses, the MSPmentor 250 focuses on the personalities you need to know across this industry. The MSPmentor 100 leverages fact-based metrics (annual MSP revenue growth, revenue per employee, revenue per managed device, etc.) but the MSPmentor 250 is driven purely by word of mouth and personal reputation.

Instead of looking for the obvious names, we pushed our readers to identify the hidden leaders driving managed services and software as a service (SaaS). A prime example: You likely know about the MSP and SaaS initiatives under way at Amazon.com, Cisco, Dell, Google and Microsoft. But do you know the key internal executives who are driving those strategies? You will — once you dive into the MSPmentor 250.

Equally important: The MSPmentor 250 isn’t reserved for Global 2000 companies. Hundreds of executives representing regional MSPs and SaaS startups are also on the list.
