They're smart and successful, and to say they are ambitious would be a huge understatement.
They are the Boston Business Journal's 2017 40 Under 40 honorees and, despite their youthful ages, each of them is already making a significant positive impact in their workplaces and communities in Greater Boston.
This year's 40 Under 40 honorees — 20 men and 20 women who live and work in the Bay State — represent the best and brightest in Massachusetts. The honorees were selected from nearly 350 nominations received this year and are currently leading their respective industries in the for-profit, nonprofit and government sectors. They will be recognized at an evening ceremony on Oct. 19 at the YMCA of Greater Boston. In addition, each of their inspiring stories will be featured in an upcoming special supplement of the Business Journal.
"This is the Boston Business Journal's 20th year of recognizing 40-under-40 honorees, so the class this year has special meaning for us here at the BBJ," said Carolyn Jones, the Business Journal's market president and publisher. "We look forward to sharing all of honorees’ extraordinary personal stories and celebrating their achievements along with their coworkers, friends and family in October."
