Meet the 30 Women to Watch for 2017
Utah Business has been celebrating the incredible women in Utah’s business community for nearly two decades. These days, it’s no longer unusual to find women at the helm of regional banks, government agencies and startup companies—or within the leadership of cutting-edge tech firms or on the frontlines of social justice efforts. What is unusual is the remarkable talent, passion and drive that our honorees bring to their work.
