neutral  Liliana Roman-Hamilton: gli agitatori secondo il garzanti sono "chi eccita, turba; in partic. chi incita ad azioni politiche di protesta", quindi non e' appropriato in questo contesto, Gabor.

Explanation:
Non è una traduzione letterale, ma credo che si avvicini al senso, in base alla definizione:

mover and (a) shaker (plural: movers and shakers)

1. (idiomatic) someone who has power and influence in some field or activity.
The sales team sought to talk to the movers and shakers within an organization, rather than to their underlings.
He really is a mover and a shaker in those circles.



Example sentence(s):
  • The sales team sought to talk to the movers and shakers within an organization, rather than to their underlings.
  • He really is a mover and a shaker in those circles.

agree  Rosella Zoccheddu: pezzi grossi forse è un po' colloquiale. Preferisco Nomi Illustri o Personalità (illustri). Pensavo anche al jet set, ma forse fa molto Billionaire ad agosto... :o)

Explanation:
movers&shakers, scuotono le opinioni, le tendenze o comunque make things happen... potrebbe essere trascinatori allora?
