No industry absorbs the energy and brilliance of young people like the industry of technology. Indeed, some of the biggest tech companies in the world are run by leaders hardly in their 40s – or even younger. And in a future focused field that changes with such speed, it is no surprise that it is these younger generations making so many incredible strides promoting innovation. The National Diversity Council is proud to honor the young leaders at the forefront of that effort.
