40 Under 40 2022
MEET THE CLASS OF 2022
New York is a city full of people who aren’t afraid of hard work, and these young professionals are no exception. They are pioneering new ways to network and get around the city, breaking ground in fields from real estate to health care, entertainment to politics, as well as helping other entrepreneurs in their quest to find funding. And the honorees are also championing the causes of New Yorkers who don’t always have a voice, working to boost access to food, mental health care, housing and internet connectivity for all.
Crain’s 2022 class of 40 Under 40 honorees will inspire and motivate you. But mostly, these profiles will leave you confident that the future of our city is in highly capable, hardworking hands.
