About
The judging panel, comprising experienced professionals and high achievers from different parts of the industry, applied rigorous criteria to the lengthy list of nominations. Nominees are required to be under 40 years of age and an outperformer in their market and, beyond that, need to demonstrate drive, energy and an entrepreneurial spirit. Additionally, the judges looked for evidence of a nominee’s holistic contribution to the organisation for which he or she works, whether internally, as a leader of a networking or advocacy group, or externally, as a champion of a charity, mentoring programme or other such project.
The 30 individuals selected are on the ascent and, just as importantly, making the world a better place by giving back on their way up.
