Alen Bubich: LinkedIn Network Intelligence Report

Seniority & Influence. "The Decision-Maker Hub" Your network is heavily skewed toward the top of the organizational chart — CEOs, Founders, CMOs, Presidents, VPs, and Managing Directors. A strong "Director" layer sits just below. This is not a peer network for tactical execution; it is a Buyer/Approver network. You are one or two degrees away from the person who signs the check.

Industry Vertical Concentration. "The Growth Trifecta" Three dominant sectors cluster your network: Financial Services & Insurance (JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, MetLife, RBC, PIMCO), Marketing, Advertising & Media (CMOs, Brand Strategists, Agency owners), and Software (SaaS) & Data Analytics (AI founders, B2B executives). A niche sub-network of Sponsorship Directors in professional sports rounds it out.

Functional Archetypes. "The Revenue & Growth Engine" Your network is built for scaling businesses. Dominant functions are Growth & Revenue (BD, Sales, RevOps), Brand & Communication (Marketing, PR, Brand Strategy), and Intelligence & Insight (Data, Research, Strategy). Notably absent: "Back Office" contacts. Your network is almost entirely comprised of people responsible for market positioning, customer acquisition, and strategic direction.

Organizational Scale. "The Hybrid Reach" You bridge two worlds: Enterprise Giants (Google, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Lockheed Martin, HSBC) — your "whale" targets — and Scalable Mid-Market/Startups in the 11–200 employee range, primarily Founders who can make decisions quickly. Few networks achieve this range simultaneously.

Economic & Demographic Profile. "High Net Worth" The network concentrates in the 30–50 age bracket — peak seniority and purchasing power. Many contacts carry high net worth ($3M+), high income ($250K+), and homeownership signals. Geographically, it is predominantly North American (US/Canada) with meaningful executive nodes in London, Spain, India, and South Africa.

Strategic Takeaways. "How to Use This" Selling SocialHP: You have the CMOs who own the brand, the Sponsorship Directors who activate communities, and the SaaS Founders who need organic growth. You don't need to find leads — you need to activate this list. For Partnerships: you are positioned as a Super-Connector between SaaS founders and Financial Giants. White Space to fill: Deep Tech/Engineering (CTOs, Lead Engineers) and Healthcare/Life Sciences remain underrepresented.

Technical Founder Who Can Speak Business. Most founders are either business-focused and rely heavily on technical teams, or technical and struggle with sales and customer engagement. This profile bridges both worlds — with a Computer Science background from the University of Guelph, experience in PHP, MVC, Oracle Database, SEO, and Scrum, strong business development experience, and co-founding a SaaS company.

He can communicate effectively with developers, product teams, customers, executives, and investors without needing translation between groups.

Product Builder With Direct Customer Discovery Experience. A major differentiator is the emphasis on speaking directly with customers — personally speaking with 400+ PR and communications professionals and participating in 1,000+ interviews that helped shape product development, translating those findings into a platform and framework for executive thought leadership.

Many product leaders rely on second-hand customer feedback. This person personally conducted large-scale discovery and market validation.

Strong Blend of Technical PM + Product PM Skills. The profile highlights Scrum expertise, software development knowledge, SaaS product experience, and business development experience — positioning him as a Technical Product Manager, Technical Project Manager, and Product-Led Founder rather than a traditional project coordinator.

Can manage requirements, engineering teams, product strategy, and customer expectations simultaneously.

Deep Expertise in Executive Visibility and Employee Advocacy. The profile repeatedly focuses on executive thought leadership, leadership marketing, LinkedIn visibility, employee advocacy, executive branding, and social media adoption and engagement — creating a specialization that differentiates him from generic SaaS founders.

"Technical founder who helps organizations scale executive thought leadership and employee advocacy through software."

Research-Driven Rather Than Opinion-Driven. The profile references hundreds of direct conversations, structured research, development of a "7 Pillars" framework, and continuous refinement based on customer feedback.

Builds solutions from observed customer behavior rather than assumptions.

Proven Focus on Adoption and Change Management. Where many SaaS leaders focus on features, this profile emphasizes fast implementation, high user adoption, ease of use, customer support quality, organizational rollout, and customer success — often the hardest parts of enterprise software implementation.

Adoption, user engagement, and organizational rollout are the critical success factors in enterprise software.

Sponsorship is your hidden vertical. "Sponsorship/sponsorships" appears 790 combined times in job titles — more than "founder" (390) or "sales" (252). An entire underserved niche inside your network that receives zero targeted content.

18.04M combined follower reach. Average contact has 3,660 followers — roughly 4× the LinkedIn average. This is an unusually high-amplification network for its size.

Follower reach is highly concentrated. Just 22 contacts (0.4%) have 50K+ followers. Justin Rowe (85K), Sam Winsbury (64K), Zeb Evans (61K), and Olga Andrienko (58K) are your megaphone contacts.

Marketing is perfectly gender-balanced. Overall network is 62% M / 38% F — but the Marketing function splits exactly 50/50. Female contacts are underrepresented in Research (73% M) and Entrepreneurship (74% M).

$404.8 billion in total funding in this network. 467 contacts have funding data; max single event is $15.75B. Relevant for enterprise sales targeting funded scale-ups or investor conversations.

Financial services is your deepest enterprise vertical. Wells Fargo + JPMorgan + Northwestern Mutual + MetLife + RBC + BNY Mellon account for 225+ contacts across 6 firms. Multi-stakeholder footholds in all of them.

52% work at 51–200 person companies. SMB-to-mid-market sweet spot for SaaS adoption — large enough to need a platform, small enough to move fast. The optimal deal velocity zone.

80% of your network has no location data. Of the 20% who do, 67% are USA and 9% Canada. The UK (49 contacts) and APAC are significantly underexposed relative to their LinkedIn B2B market size.

Founders have the highest follower count of any function. 411 founders average 8,130 followers — double the next highest function. They are your most influential amplifiers AND your fastest-decision buyers.

Your executive cohort skews young for its seniority. Executives average 37 years old — consistent with SaaS, agencies, and founder-led businesses. Messaging should speak to ambition and growth, not legacy.

Elite education is a thin but real signal. Harvard, Chicago Booth, Georgetown, Carnegie Mellon, and UC Berkeley together account for ~99 contacts. These self-select into high-credibility networks and respond to peer-level outreach.

Toronto is your #1 city, outranking every US city except NYC. 49 Toronto contacts vs NYC's 71. Significant Canadian B2B presence suggesting the employee advocacy category resonates strongly in Canada.

86% B2B model — pure signal. Virtually no consumer or retail noise. Your entire messaging stack can be B2B-optimised without dilution — one of the cleanest network compositions possible.

Revenue growth is the #1 organisational pain cluster. "Business Development, Strategy, Revenue Growth" + "BD, Revenue Growth, Strategic Partnerships" together account for 1,640+ contacts whose primary org need is revenue generation — the exact problem employee advocacy solves.
