Desert Financial Chief Marketing Officer Jeremy Nelson and Northern Arizona Market Manager, Miles Kastner, will also be featured in the list of top 50 business leaders to watch in 2024.
“It’s an honor to be included among so many distinguished Arizonans,” said Nelson. “I am grateful to work for a company that wholeheartedly supports our community while providing the best possible financial services for people throughout the state.”
“We have put a lot of energy into connecting with and supporting Northern Arizona communities since we opened our first branch in the area in 2021, and I am grateful for the recognition of those efforts,” said Kastner.
The 2024 AZ Big 100 will be published in the January/February issue of Arizona Business Magazine. The AZ Big 100 was created to identify the 100 people and companies who will shape Arizona’s business community.
