This list is an excellent opportunity to amplify the voices that bring fresh ideas to help managed print dealers thrive in a rapidly changing marketplace.”



In addition to their reach across multiple platforms, the final members of the list are found frequently at tradeshows, as guests on podcasts and video interviews, and contributing to leading organizations like the MPSA, the BTA, and CompTIA.



“I’m honored to be listed among the most influential people in our industry, so many of whom I have the privilege of working with and know very well,” said Laura Blackmer, President, Dealer Sales, Konica Minolta. “Congratulations to everyone on this year’s list who has been working hard to manage the change and challenges our industry.”
