Finance: Carter Frazee

Strongsville native Frazee is a principal for investing firm KKR's global impact strategy, a $3.5 billion initiative focused on making private equity investments centered around climate, sustainability, education and inclusion. A graduate of Fordham University and Harvard Business School, Frazee, 29, also leads KKR's Pride Philanthropy initiative.

Education: Tim Rosenberger

Lakewood native and Lutheran West graduate Tim Rosenberger is being honored for founding the Atlas Education Fund – which he did more than a decade ago as a high school student, originally to provide tutoring in academics, athletics and music. After nearly having to drop out of Georgetown University due to lack of funding and being helped out by the Metropolitan Community Church, however, he expanded the faith-based non-profit to help other students in similar situations. Since 2014, the Atlas Education Fund has issued $2.5 million in forgivable loans at half the prevailing federal student loan interest rate. “The Atlas fund is not a handout. It is an investment in transformative leaders who then repay that investment for the benefit of generations to come,” says the Fund’s website.
