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 16th annual Fast 15 class highlights some of those leaders who are driving innovation and success in business and nonprofit sectors. From groundbreaking entrepreneurs to visionary executives, they are beginning to make a lasting impact.

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. From a venture capital investor with a passion for impacting the next generation of medicine to a mechanical engineer dedicated to improving water and wastewater projects, each honoree’s journey is a testament to their relentless drive for success, making their stories all the more intriguing.

Congratulations to the 2024 class of Fast 15ers.
