20-40 Visionaries — Young Turks Set the Pace

THE FIRST decade in the 21st century has become known for its lists of Top 10s, 50s, 100s—you name it. You can’t turn on the television, read a newspaper or log on to the Internet without being bombarded by someone’s opinion of how people, places, events and the like should be rated and ranked.

Well, instead of another Top 10 list of Courtney Love’s most humiliating moments, we have assembled 20 of the industry’s finest young executives for your consideration. We’re not calling them the best necessarily; we’re not even ranking them. But each of them has risen through the ranks to their current exec post in a relatively short time. We only included people 40 years old or younger, to bring attention to the next generation of leaders.
