About Thinkers360
Thinkers360 is a leading platform for thought leaders, influencers, and experts to share insights and connect with like-minded professionals. The platform curates and highlights the work of individuals across a broad range of sectors, making it a key resource for businesses seeking expert advice and innovative solutions.
Thinkers360 was founded to help solve some of the current issues in the thought leadership “industry”. Today, the thought leadership ecosystem is highly-fragmented and often closed to most outsiders. Once a specialised art, practised by a few, thought leadership is now a widespread discipline practised by many – beyond the current 1% that the “industry” currently series.
Many upcoming thought leaders and experts aren’t yet social media stars, celebrity authors, influencers or speakers, but are leading authorities in their fields. Both established and emerging thought leaders need new ways to measure their expertise – looking beyond influence – and a platform to advance their audience and impact.
The mission of Thinkers360 platform is to revolutionise the proprietary thought leadership “industry” and open it up to a wider array of established and emerging academics, authors, entrepreneurs, inventors, influencers and speakers – helping them to succeed in making the world a better place.
