Kirk Sanford started his business career at age 24, running a start-up processing company selling debit card terminals to mom and pop retailers. He went on to launch Global Cash Access in partnership with Bank of America and First Data Corp. In 2006 at age 39, he was chief executive of Global Cash Access (NYSE:GCA), a Las Vegas (NV)-based gaming company with .36 billion market cap company.

Meet the new boss, younger than the old boss and is is one of approximately 140 executives age 40 or younger who are chief executive officers of publicly traded companies around the world, according to data compiled by Capital IQ. Of these, nearly 100 are located within the U.S., while another 40 or so lead companies headquartered in other countries. The youngest, Harry Vafias, CEO of StealthGas (GASS) in Athens, Greece, is only 28.

For generations, the corner office has been the domain of experience, occupied in literature and film by crusty old-timers like Ebenezer Scrooge or It’s a Wonderful Life’s Mr. Potter. In more recent decades, investors grew accustomed to fresher faces, as such young visionaries as Microsoft’s (MSFT) Bill Gates and Apple’s (AAPL) Steve Jobs helped lead the 1980s personal-computing revolution. Now, a new generation of 40-and-under CEOs offers proof that today’s young entrepreneurs can scale the corporate ladder, too.

Bing Travel is part of Bing, Microsoft’s new Decision Engine and consumer brand announced on May 28, designed to help people overcome search overload and make faster, more informed decisions when searching online. Bing Travel combines many of the airfare and hotel tools from Microsoft’s 2008 acquisition of Farecast with rich news and editorial content from MSN Travel. Bing Travel is available for travelers today at http://www.bing.com/travel. 

According to a recent survey by Bing Travel, 52 percent of potential travelers search three or more sites before booking their airfare. Forty-two percent of travelers spend between one and four weeks weighing their travel options, and 17 percent spend more than one month.
