Meet the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal’s 2025 Fast 15 class

Younger talent is in high supply in Northwest Arkansas, and that’s a good thing because there is also an enormous demand for that talent pool. Northwest Arkansas is increasingly recognized for its economic prosperity and high quality of life, attracting talent nationwide. That talent is one of the region’s top resources.

The Northwest Arkansas Business Journal’s 17th annual Fast 15 presented by RightFiber is our chance to celebrate and recognize some of those leaders who are driving innovation and success in the business and nonprofit sectors. In this edition, we cast a spotlight on 15 young leaders under the age of 30, each with a unique story of excellence, ambition and creativity in their respective fields.

This year, you will find dynamic 20-somethings who are forging new paths in health care, construction, retail, finance and technology. The 2025 class is full of potential but also already full of results.

Their achievements not only reflect their remarkable talent but also underscore the exciting entrepreneurial spirit thriving in Northwest Arkansas.

Congratulations to the 2025 class of Fast 15ers.
