Nominees must be 39 years or younger on June 30 and must spend the majority of their work time in Ottawa-Gatineau. They also must be an owner, executive, manager, professional or person with significant business decision-making authority. Preference is given to nominees who work in the private sector; however, nominees can also work for a public or non-profit organization.
Past recipients of the Forty Under 40 award have represented a wide range of industries, including architects, high-tech CEOs, homebuilders, lawyers, musicians, restaurateurs and startup founders. Last year’s class included Claridge Homes’ Shawn Malhotra and Keynote Group’s Donna Baker and well-known honourees include Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke and Beau’s All Natural Brewing Co. co-founder Steve Beauchesne.
Recipients will be announced in late April. The award gala honouring this year’s recipients will be held on Friday, June 21 at the Hilton Lac-Leamy.
