4. Jeremy Lott

SanMar (asi/84863)

2020 Rank: 1
Title: President/CEO
Industry Experience: 20 years

Lott may have slipped three places on the Power 50 after topping the list last year, but his influence remains quite considerable, especially according to industry voters. It makes sense. For one, Lott is in charge of SanMar – promo’s largest supplier and a multibillion-dollar apparel juggernaut. He’s also directing industry-leading initiatives on multiple fronts, including sustainability through SanMar’s “Canvas For Good” program. Plus, he frequently weighs in on pressing promo topics in talks, webinars and industry publications. Like his father Marty before him (SanMar’s founder), Lott’s opinions, insights and actions matter throughout the $20.7 billion promo space.
