The Boston Business Journal, in partnership with El Planeta, a regional Hispanic newspaper based in Boston, announced its first-ever 20 on the Move finalists. The project aims to highlight Hispanic executives making a difference in Boston.
The 20 finalists, chosen by a panel of judges hailing from the BBJ, El Planeta and the Greater Boston business community, serve in high-ranking positions throughout the Massachusetts economy and represent companies and civic organizations across a wide spectrum of industries. More than 100 nominations were submitted for review.
The BBJ and El Planeta will formally honor this year’s finalists Oct. 17 via a special editorial section and a breakfast event at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. Click here for more information about the event.
