The Boston Business Journal Tuesday (August 17, 2010) announced its 40 Under 40 honorees for 2010. This year marks 13th one for the program, which recognizes emerging business leaders in Greater Boston.

This year’s honorees come from a broad spectrum in the Boston business community and represent the business talent and civic commitment that help drive the regional economy.

“Boston’s competitive advantage is its collective brainpower,” said Chris McIntosh, publisher of the Boston Business Journal. “Our 40 Under 40 class reflects the deep talent pool and community spirit that make Boston an economic powerhouse and a great place to live.”

Honorees are selected by an editorial committee after the BBJ solicits nominations from the business community. Each year, the selection process gets tougher as the quality of the nominations climbs, said George Donnelly, editor of the BBJ.
