From hundreds of candidates, IBJ has chosen 40 budding superstars from the central Indiana business community who are really going places.

We asked each of them to meet us at the majestic new Indianapolis International Airport to pose for portraits and sit for video interviews. In light of the surroundings, we asked them to discuss where they’re headed in the next year, and what they see on the horizon from their lofty perspectives.

This group of high-flying achievers is a diverse bunch, with careers ranging from entrepreneur to corporate executive, from attorney to not-for-profit leader, and from banker to Division I college basketball coach. Their influence likely will be felt for years to come.
