We are pleased to share that Verger’s CEO, Jim Dunn, has been named to Business North Carolina’s Power List for the fifth consecutive year. The annual list recognizes leaders across a wide range of industries who are helping shape the future of North Carolina through their influence in business and the community.
The Power List is developed through reporting, public nominations, and editorial research, and offers a broad view of key decision-makers throughout the state. Jim is featured in the Finance & Insurance section on page 50 of the 2025 issue. His consistent presence on this list reflects not only his leadership at Verger, but also his broader commitment to mission-based institutions, investment excellence, and community engagement.
This year’s list opens with a note from Editor David Mildenberg, who reflects on the career advice shared by those profiled. Jim’s response — “There are no shortcuts. It’s hard work, grit, and perseverance.” — is among those highlighted in the introduction, underscoring the values that continue to guide his leadership at Verger.
We congratulate Jim and all of this year’s honorees. Their collective contributions reflect the strength and direction of leadership across North Carolina.
