40 Under 40 (Lee-Collier)

40 Under 40 (Lee-Collier)

From attorneys to veterinarians, you can bet this year's class of 40 Under 40 profiled in the following pages will be tomorrow's Gulf Coast leaders. Many of them already are. Selected by the Review editors from more than 200 nominations, their influence is now felt in a wide range of industries throughout the Gulf Coast.

Women make up nearly half the group. Seven are in their 20s. In the case of Sarasota-based LexJet (see page 1 photo), 17 senior staffers are under the age of 40 and many are barely 30. There are three bankers, five attorneys and three developers.
