“With The World’s Most Influential CMOs 2017 report, we present a distinguished selection of the upper echelon, along with an instructive look at what brought them there,” the Forbes report, released June 22, says.

The report names 50 CMOs (chief marketing officers). Asnovich is # 40 in the list, which includes top global companies such as HP Inc., Apple, GE, Twitter, Samsung Electronics America, Ford, Airbnb, Mastercard, and Cisco.

“As CMOs increasingly assume responsibility for driving not just brand but business growth, they have an unprecedented opportunity to affect revenue and customer experience,” the report says.

Jeffrey He, president of Hikvision USA Inc. and Hikvision Canada Inc., said this is a “well-deserved credit for Alex and a distinct recognition for Hikvision North America.” He said it is Hikvision’s goal to “strive for excellence as the leading security manufacturer in the North American market. Under Alex’s leadership, Hikvision’s North American multifaceted marketing and communications efforts have and will continue to be integral to our success.”
