Meet the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal’s 2024 Forty Under 40 class

The Northwest Arkansas Business Journal proudly introduces the 28th class of Forty Under 40 honorees. Our annual list recognizes emerging leaders for achievements in their professional lives and their community involvement.

To be considered, nominees must live and work in Northwest Arkansas or the Fort Smith metro. The honorees represent a wide range of business and community sectors, including engineering, finance, government, healthcare, real estate, retail, and the vendor community.

To be sure, our editorial staff had a difficult job selecting this year’s honorees from what was a deep and large pool of nominations. The difficulty, however, was reassuring in that the two metro areas have an abundance of leadership talent.

“It’s easy to fall into the trap of being worried about the next generation, but any time spent with people in this class will erase such worry,” said Michael Tilley, executive editor of the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal. “In addition to their career achievements, members of this class also have a heart for community. The kids are alright, indeed.”

The Journal congratulates the Class of 2024 and is proud to highlight their achievements and their respective commitments to making the world a better place around them.
