  • Business North Carolina's Third Power 100 List of the State's Most
    elcome to BUSINESS NORTH CAROLINA’s third Power 100 list of the state’s most influential business leaders. This year’s report features stories and interviews Wwith 27 people including the state’s most powerful pork producer, the owner of the nation’s biggest furniture store, and the banker charged with reversing Wells Fargo’s deteriorating customer-service reputation. North Carolina’s rapid growth as a major business center makes selecting the list more interesting — and difficult — each year. There are more powerful people than ever before. After taking suggestions from all corners and quizzing dozens of people for ideas, the edito- rial team settles on the names. We look for leaders who are representative of some broad categories of power: ■ Institutional powerhouses, such as university presidents Vincent Price and Jose Sartarelli and hospital bosses Michael Waldrum and Julie Ann Freischlag. ■ Middle-of-the-action folks, creating a lot of activity and, sometimes, making a lot of money. Drug-discovery investor Fred Eshelman and venture capitalist David Gardner are examples. ■ Outstanding entrepreneurs, including lending genius Doug Lebda and video-game superstar Tim Sweeney. ■ Networking powerhouses, such as lawyer Rob Harrington and banker Jim Hansen. ■ Pillars of commerce, such as software icon Jim Goodnight, auto dealer Don Flow and bank investor Chip Mahan. ■ Public company CEOs including Susan DeVore, Lynn Good and Kelly King. ■ Real estate kingpins including Andy Andrews and Roy Carroll. ■ Singular talents who make major waves in their spheres. Examples this year include restaurateur Ashley Christensen and hip-hop star J. Cole. ■ Thought leaders, including marketing experts such as Peggy Brookhouse and David Mullen.
