Celebrating individuals who have made remarkable contributions to the business world after the age of 60.
The creation of the "60 Over 60" list is a response to challenge age-related stereotypes and showcase the valuable contributions made by individuals who start successful businesses later in life. The underlying reason for establishing this list is to challenge a statement that suggests a person under 30 is not considered valuable to a company.
Historically, there has been a prevailing bias in some industries that associates youth with innovation, adaptability, and fresh ideas, often overlooking the wealth of experience, wisdom, and resilience that can come with age. This bias can contribute to ageism, a form of discrimination based on age, where older individuals may face challenges in the workplace, particularly when it comes to starting new ventures.
