For 25 years, Sports Business Journal has recognized young leaders across sports for their accomplishments and contributions to the industry. Forty Under 40 alumni across all sectors of business include some of the most influential executives in sports today.
SBJ and presenting sponsors Ally, Anheuser-Busch, MGM Resorts, TurnkeyZRG and Verizon are pleased to announce the 2024 list of the 40 executives who will be recognized for achievement and innovation in their careers, all before the age of 40.
Additionally, Daniel Cohen of Octagon and Jason Krochak of Proskauer join the SBJ Forty Under 40 Hall of Fame, which is reserved for three-time honorees. With their induction, the Hall of Fame includes 68 past honorees.
All 2024 honorees will be featured in the June 17 issue of SBJ, where the stories of their careers and successes are told. They also will be recognized at our annual Forty Under 40 gala on Nov. 22 at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan. For more information, please visit FortyUnder40awards.com.
