Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 11, 2009 -- Sonya Dakar Skin Care's President & CEO, Natan Dakar, was honored last Wednesday evening at the Sixth Annual 40 Under 40 Leadership Awards presented by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal.

"I feel honored and thank G-D to be acknowledged in one of the most important business communities in the world," said Dakar. "I look forward to continuing the growth of my business and supporting this outstanding community."

The award honors significant business achievements by Valley-based professionals all under the age of 40. San Fernando Valley Business Journal staff reporter Nadra Kareem nominated Dakar after interviewing him in April 2008 for an article on the family business titled "Familiar Faces."

"I nominated Nate because he has managed to lead one of the few thriving cosmetics businesses based in the Valley," said Kareem. "I was impressed that the company has such a large following, including celebrities, and that they've received so much recognition in national magazines and other sources."

The reception was held at the Beverly Garland Hotel in North Hollywood, Calif. Other business leaders honored included Ayala Levinson of Tiffany & Co., David Nicholas of K-SWISS, Inc. and Jenna Hardy of Warner Bros. Interactive.
