The list identifies the world's leading and most influential managed services provider (MSP) executives, entrepreneurs, experts, coaches and community leaders. It is based on MSPmentor's annual global reader survey and daily coverage of the managed services market.

CompTIA staff members who received MSPmentor 250 recognition are Carolyn April, senior director, industry research; Nancy Hammervik, senior vice president, industry relations; and Lisa Person, director, member communities.
