Welcome to the 2018 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.

#34 Craig Nadel & Debbie Abergel, Jack Nadel International (asi/279600)

2017 Rank: 37

For the second straight year, Nadel and Abergel appear together on the Power 50 list after guiding the West Coast distributor to 2017 sales of $119 million. In June, JNI signaled expansion plans by buying North Carolina-based branding agency Planet Logo and by opening an office in Calgary. The duo has the potential to rise even higher in future years as their peer scores keep ticking upward.

“Part of being a good leader is knowing what you can’t do and trying not to do those things.” Craig Nadel, Jack Nadel International
