Who are some C-Level guys under 40 of notable companies?
That aren’t founders or inherited their dads company.
I just want to view their LinkedIn profiles and see their prior experience to reaching that position.
Keith Cozza was 35 when he became CEO of Icahn Enterprises. Marissa Mayer was 37 when she became CEO of Yahoo
Any people that come to mind?
Shrek2OnDVD, way too quiet in here. What about these resources:
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Iqbal Khan from credit suisse, started running private wealth at 38 or something, left for UBS and CS pulled out all the stops, hired a PI, spied on him, etc. really juicy stuff
Sundar Pichai became CEO of google at 42, not under 40 but still
mandell crawley of morgan stanley became chief marketing officer in his 30s
manny roman (current CEO of PIMCO) has been in top roles since his 30s
jamie dimon was a CFO at age 30
as someone who manages wealth for executives and C level folks, the one common thread I've noticed is your network. keeping in touch plus performing well plus taking risks seems to generally work well, but it also helps to be politically savvy. if you're not aligned with the right people, when leadership changes come, you could be receiving a pink slip. I've seen it with my own two eyes, people who were good performers, had big teams, not ridiculous comp, all got the axe when the CEO came in and wanted to bring in their team.
if I were you, I'd write out what you want your resume to look like in 10, 15, 20 years, and then start putting the plans in place today of how you will get there. do you need to get graduate education? do you have any international assignments? do you have any leadership roles? do you have any philanthropic endeavors? stuff like that. when you write it out in full, you'll begin to see the gaps. best of luck
Cannot agree more on playing politics especially when there are changes in CEO coming up/that can be expected. Though if you are in one candidate A-team you’ll likely get the pink slip if he doesn’t get the role.
one of the many reasons I'm not about that corporate life. as best I can, I want to be master of my own domain (seinfeld fans will get it)
The former CFO of Kraft Heinz was 29 when he became CFO. His resume is slightly annoying because he followed a very safe path that many on the IB forum tout as the formula to success, although it often doesn’t work out as well as this
Princeton (member of the most exclusive eating club on campus) -> Goldman IB -> Onex (PE fund) > 3G Capital / CFO Kraft Heinz
This is the best example for finance people on this forum. Curious if anyone has examples of people coming from MBB?

Not sure if this counts as C-Level but Citi is massive so it’s definitely impressive
There are some good stories out there. Going to C-Level in a good sized company when young is an accomplishment.
But, Kylie becoming a billionaire largely through her Instagram following of her product - wow -huge wtf for me there. Pretty fucking impressive.

Some celebrity getting lucky and striking it rich with a makeup line using a massive social media following gained due to said celebrity status is not relevant to this discussion, in the least bit.
p.s. Forbes is also being extremely liberal wit the term "self-made" apparently
