The World Economic Forum recently announced its 2016 class of Young Global Leaders - people under the age of 40 who are changing the world. While only five of the 24 American honorees are working in the finance industry, they're already making an incredible impact on the world at large.

As a part of the WEF's Young Global Leaders class, the honorees participate in the program for five years, attending meetings, taking part in initiatives and research, and working together across all industries to incite change.
