Welcome to the 2019 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.

#2 Marc Simon, HALO Branded Solutions (asi/356000)

2018 Rank: 1 
Title: CEO
Industry Experience: 18 years

This year’s Counselor Person of the Year, the only industry pro in its history to win the award twice, Simon continues to preside over a company leading the market’s rampant M&A trend, with more to follow. And while its acquisitions are no doubt responsible for the bulk of HALO’s 45% sales growth from 2017 to 2018, its ability to integrate people and processes onto its technology platform has continued to propel its top-tier service level for clients. Added to that is Simon’s singular ability to attract a management team with a wide variety of skills, talent and industry experience that complement his sharp and strategic leadership.
