CEO of Barings, LLC. Recognized as one of theTop Newsmakers in 2016 by the
Charlotte Business Journal,Thomas (Tom) Finke is a member of the Capital
Campaign Committee of Davidson College.
Davidson College is a private liberal arts college that helps students develop
creative minds. The college recently sent eight students to Silicon Valley to
immerse themselves in the world’s tech hub and learn from industry
professionals.
The students toured the San Francisco office of Instacart and observed how the
company works. Regardless of their different interests, the students realized
the importance of communication and expertise in tackling projects.
One of the students, Chris Amoroso, who majors in economics, stated that
venturing into Silicon Valley instead of staying in North Caroline has given him
access to a network of technology experts from Facebook, Amazon, and Lyft.
