Stephanie Greiner

Age: 37

Title: Chief development officer, Des Moines University

Family: Husband Nick Greiner; children Finley, Knox and Harlow

A reason why she is a Forty: She launched the largest fundraising campaign for Des Moines University and is the youngest member of the executive leadership team.

What drives her: Helping students financially. “The debt load that students face today is astronomical. Every time a donor supports a new scholarship, it changes the course of a student’s life. I would like to see every college student have a scholarship because of the work fundraisers do at every institution,” she said.

An interesting fact about Greiner: Stephanie loves watching college football. The Hawkeyes are her first love but you can catch her on Saturday’s, in the fall, watching any college team. Her goal in retirement is to travel to a different college football game every weekend, in an RV.
