To mark a year of “monumental change,” the editors of Fortune say they decided to upend the publication’s annual “40 Under 40” feature, forgoing a single list and instead highlighting 40 influential people in each of five categories: finance, technology, health care, government and politics, and media and entertainment.
Read on to meet the six MIT alumni who made this year’s list. And learn more about them and the other honorees on the Fortune 40 Under 40 website. (All images via Fortune.)
