Recognizes Young Leaders Who Are Shaping The Future Of The Industry
The NBAA has unveiled the 2019 Business Aviation Top 40 Under 40, which recognizes young leaders who are shaping the future of the industry.

Recipients will be recognized at NBAA’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), which runs Oct. 22-24 in Las Vegas, NV. Specific events in which they will be honored include the Young Professionals in Business Aviation (YoPro) Networking Reception on Oct. 22 and the Day 2 Keynote on Oct. 23.
“Rising leaders from across the world are bringing fresh ideas and valuable perspectives to business aviation, elevating the industry to ever-greater heights,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “NBAA is privileged to share the stories of these dynamic young women and men.”
This year’s second annual Top 40 Under 40 list was selected by NBAA’s YoPro Council, a group of business aviation professionals and NBAA staff liaisons working to build relationships between the industry’s emerging leaders.
The group’s focus on growing the industry’s young talent will continue at the inaugural Emerging Leaders Conference, to be held in Orlando, FL, from Feb. 26-27, 2020. The conference will bring rising industry leaders together for tailored professional development content focused on enhancing high-level leadership skills that deliver tangible benefits to their organizations.
