Raleigh restauranteur Amber Moshakos now leads the family restaurant group. The best known brand is Carolina Ale House, but the business is making a big bet in downtown and is the June cover story for Business North Carolina. Our annual ranking of the biggest North Carolina banks and money managers shows what a tough business that is, although several companies are doing just fine. Another feature story highlighted 30 people in North Carolina’s tech industry who are making a difference. We also highlightled more than 60 North Carolina businesses who provide the employee perks that make workers happy in our annual Best Employers feature. Other stories review the move by Golden Corral to diversify its business, sudden departures of five UNC System chancellors and how hard it is to keep doctors who are trained at North Carolina universities to remain in the state, especially in rural areas. The magazine also featured how agriculture leaders are trying to market the products grown on our farms. The Power List interview was with Sean Suggs, who is leading Toyota’s venture in battery manufacturing who not only explained his rise in the company, but also ‘The Toyota Way.’
