Most of the top companies in the world today are SaaS companies, or software as a service. These companies, — such as Uber, Salesforce, Adobe Creative Cloud and Zoom — deploy software to connect the world, make work easier or accomplish many more tasks. The SaaS world is changing quickly, and tech influencers are emerging. SaaS influencers with expertise and involvement in B2B marketing, software and tech bring value to everyone by sharing their thoughts and passing along others’ insights in retweets and shares.
