Today Fast Company announced the Most Creative People in Business 1000 – with Chartbeat CEO Tony Haile included in the ranks. The MCP 1000 is described as “an influential, diverse group of modern Renaissance men and women across the economy and around the globe. This is more than just a list: It is a rising community, an explosion of creative inspiration, the spur for so much breaking news across the quickly changing industries that Fast Company covers.”
Renaissance man, indeed. That baby-faced chap you know and love truly spends all day every day #disrupting and #innovating, fighting the good fight. Tony’s passion for building tools and solutions that equip publishers with business models to keep them around and thriving for decades to come is simply unmatched. Helping an entire industry change the way it does business through effective, sustainable metrics that measure the right goals isn’t something that happens overnight. Thankfully, years of polar exploring, circumnavigating the globe in a sailboat, and working with fifty Chartteam misfits every day forces one to be creative and resilient.
We couldn’t be prouder (or less surprised).
