Wyatt Krapf, Senior Vice President with Hodges Ward Elliott in Tampa, FL, has been recognized in the Business Observer’s 2023 40 Under 40 selections.
Each year, the Business Observer selects 40 individuals under 40 years old from the Gulf Coast business community. Carefully selected from nominations and original reporting, these individuals represent the best and brightest from Tampa to Naples.
In selecting this year’s honorees, the paper’s editors looked for candidates who are entrepreneurial, even if they don’t own their own businesses.
“There are a lot of publications that do similar lists each year,” says Business Observer Executive Editor Kat Wingert. “We wanted our list to stand apart as a group of young professionals who aren’t afraid to take charge and take risks in their business. They are willing to try new things and put their ideas into action. To us, this is what it means to be a business leader, and we feel these 40 individuals embody that spirit.”
“On behalf of the entire HWE team, we congratulate Wyatt on this well-deserved recognition, “ said Daniel Peek, President and COO of Hodges Ward Elliott. “Wyatt is a highly regarded professional who continues to identify creative capital markets solutions in a challenging environment. His drive and dedication towards serving his clients exemplify the core values of the HWE organization.”
Wyatt adds this distinction to recent accolades including being named to the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” list for 2022, as well as receiving the Deanne Dewey Roberts Emerging Leader Award through the Tampa Bay Chamber that same year.
