More than a third of this year’s Phoenix Business Journal “40 Under 40” honorees are Arizona State University alumni, with representatives from eight different colleges. The 15 honorees pursued careers in law, nonprofits, sustainability, engineering, journalism, higher education and social work.
The annual awards recognize the top business and civic leaders in the Phoenix area for their career success, community involvement, leadership ability and influence.
More than 400 nominations were reviewed and narrowed down to 40 honorees by a panel of judges that included previous winners and sponsors. All the honorees will be featured in a “40 Under 40” special section to be published in the Aug. 7 issue of the Business Journal and at a virtual awards celebration Aug. 5.
To celebrate their achievements, ASU will be sharing the honorees’ biographies on its social media channels in the upcoming weeks.
