I recently initiated a LinkedIn project with the objective of identifying active LinkedIn members who consistently share high-quality content pertaining to the aerospace and aviation industries . The project involved curating a list of such individuals and highlighting their contributions to these fields . The first article in this series , “ Top 62 Women in Aerospace and Aviation to Follow on LinkedIn ,” was published in May 2021 . The aim of this article was to showcase the achievements of women in these industries and create a platform for them to connect and inspire others .
The article was well-received , so I went on to write “ Top Men in Aerospace and Aviation to Follow on LinkedIn ” [ October 2021 ], culminating with “ Top 100 Aerospace and Aviation Professionals to Follow on LinkedIn 2021 ” [ January 2022 ].
I have continued to publish these lists , with a renewed focus on diversity and inclusion . Based on nominations and a rigorous screening process , 2022 saw the publication of “ Top 100 Women in Aerospace and Aviation Professionals to Follow on LinkedIn 2022 ,” succeeded by the “ Top 100 Men in Aerospace and Aviation to Follow on LinkedIn 2022 ” and the “ Top 100 Aerospace and Aviation Professionals to Follow on LinkedIn 2022 ”[ January 2023 ]. The six articles in this series have garnered a total of 1248 reactions , 464 comments , and 262 shares .

The project was initiated to promote the posts of professionals who “ talk about ” aerospace and aviation industry on LinkedIn . For a month I searched for posts and people who discuss # aerospace and # aviation on LinkedIn .

My aim is to change all that by recognizing their unsung efforts and feature them in the TOP 100 lists .
Through feedback from the community , I have realized the importance of diversity and inclusion , making these a key focus of the project . I have invested significant time and effort into screening profiles of nominated LinkedIn members , selecting those who have a strong engagement with the community , share relevant and informative content , and are actively contributing to the growth of the industry .
As my support efforts have evolved , my goal has shifted from simply spotlighting individuals , to also providing a platform for sharing tips and best practices for thriving on LinkedIn . This now includes a weekly feature “ Top Tips on How to Thrive on LinkedIn ” as well as “ How TOP 100 Use LinkedIn to Thrive ,” a series of articles which showcase the various ways in which LinkedIn has helped these professionals in their careers and businesses .
