UNO Strongly Represented Among 2022 “40 Under 40”

Forty leaders making an impact in their organizations and in their community were recently recognized through the Midlands Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” awards—and many of them have ties to the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO).

The annually published “40 Under 40” list recognizes young leaders early in their career who are making significant impacts in their business and community. With the university’s focus on community engagement and developing the future workforce of Nebraska, it’s only fitting that at least one out of every four leaders recognized in 2022 has ties to the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO).

Leaders recognized by Midlands Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” awards in 2022 who have ties to UNO include:

• Madeline Allen, Lunavi (2020 and 2022 alumna)

• Shelby Beers, Ambassador Title Services (2007 alumna)

• Veronica Doga, Nebraska Business Development Center (2006 and 2008 alumna, UNO employee)

• Claudia Granillo, The Wellbeing Partners (2017 and 2018 alumna)

• Jade Jensen, Appsky (2017 and 2018 alumna)

• Drew Kamp, Council Bluffs Area Chamber of Commerce (2014 alumnus)

• Jaci Lindburg, UNO Division of Innovative and Learning-Centric Initiatives (UNO employee)

• Josefina Loza, Lozafina LLC (2004 alumna, UNO employee)

• Denisha Seals, Water2Spirit (2014 alumna)

• Nikki Wulff, Assisted Living Locators (2008 alumna)

Nine of the 40 leaders recognized hold at least one degree from UNO, including four who are two-time alumni having earned graduate degrees. Three leaders are also employed by UNO.

The full list of awardees can be seen in the November 18 issue of the Midlands Business Journal and on the publication’s LinkedIn.
