President Kyle Farmbry and Sam Funchess '98, CEO of the Nussbaum Center in Greensboro, are among the 81 members on the Journal’s annual list of the most influential people in the Triad business community. The list was published Oct. 29.

Kyle took over Jan. 1 as the College’s 10th President and is committed to growing Guilford’s impact beyond the campus and across the Triad.  He’s one of five new people added to this year’s Power Players list.

This is Sam’s second appearance on the list. The Nussbaum Center, Sam’s small-business incubator, helped its 72 in-residence businesses navigate and grow throughout the pandemic. Sam is also overseeing the Center’s redevelopment of a nearby 200,000-square-foot steel-house into a multi-space for manufacturing, a ghost kitchen, farmer’s market and office space.
