Introducing the 2023 Fast 15 class

The Northwest Arkansas Business Journal’s 2023 Fast 15 class features some of the region’s most talented young professionals in the business and nonprofit communities.

The Business Journal’s editorial staff evaluated and selected honorees from nominations by readers. To be eligible, individuals had to be under 30 and proven to their employers and peers that they are on the fast track to success.

Their selection was based on their professional accomplishments and involvement in nonprofits and civic organizations.

This is our 15th year honoring the Fast 15 in the Business Journal, an issue traditionally one of our favorites.

For us, these young men and women were worth writing about. They are starting businesses, rising through the ranks of existing ones, solving problems and just beginning to make their mark.

For you, they will be worth reading about — and watching in the decades ahead. They have traveled a short, winding road thus far, but we’re inclined to believe they are on the right path to becoming part of the next generation of leaders in our area.

Congratulations to the 2023 class of Fast 15ers.
