Charleston Regional Business Journal
Announces 2025 Forty Under 40
Charleston Regional Business Journal has selected Jeffrey Ward, The Thumbs Up Guys as a 2025 Forty Under 40 recipient.
The Forty Under 40 Awards recognize future leaders, under the age of 40, who are achieving success in their careers and also giving back in meaningful ways to the Lowcountry community. The honorees were selected by a committee of previous recipients and the leadership team of Charleston Regional Business Journal. A list is below.
“The 2025 Forty Under 40 honorees are high-achieving young professionals who give back to the community in exceptional ways. They have demonstrated significant career success but also know that making a difference in the lives of others is essential,” said Jason Thomas, executive editor of SC Biz News/Charleston Regional Business Journal. “They are the next generation of leaders in the Lowcountry, and Charleston Regional Business Journal is pleased to recognize their accomplishments.”
Honorees will be profiled in a special section of the Oct. 20 issue of Charleston Regional Business Journal and will be available online at charlestonbusiness.com/event/charleston-forty-under-40/.
