By Guam Business Magazine Staff

Guam Business Magazine is pleased to announce our third-ever group of “40 Under Forty,” a competitive list of the region’s most innovative, influential businesspeople under the age of 40.

This diverse group of individuals range from those who grew up in local family businesses and returned to steer the family’s legacy into the next generation, to self-made kick-starters who have hit the ground running with the technological and experiential advances available in an increasingly connected world. Whether running corporations or mom-and-pop stores, these movers and shakers have elevated their careers through a combination of business, leadership and giving back to the community to stand out amidst their peers. Some are returning to the list, having continued an impressive forward trajectory since last recognized in 2016, and many are new, yet increasingly influential faces and names to the business community.

All 40 were selected through a competitive process, and in no way does this list reflect the multitude of emerging talent in our region. As such, you’ll find that this list includes several joint listings of siblings or spouses who have shown parallel success as they’ve made their footprints on the business community. Others you will not see are those who have moved on to serve in government, media or other civic organizations, such as Melanie Mendiola, director of the Guam Economic Development Authority; Maxine Lazlo, executive director of the Saipan Chamber of Commerce; or Eileen Agahan Igcasenza, executive director of the Guam Women’s Chamber of Commerce. These, and many more not listed in this publication, are equally deserving of recognition for their accomplishments and contributions to the region. But that is for another day.

This year’s 40 Under Forty have proven themselves to be people of influence in today’s business environment. Guam Business looks forward to seeing them continue to meet and exceed expectations for business, entrepreneurship and innovation now and in the future.
