No, Nate Hogan is not taller than the Wells Fargo tower. But be prepared to look up.

Look up to a former finance guy, a former school board chair, with experience in “accounting … sales, relationship management, operations and leadership.” And a fellow with more than enough tragic loss of family members to relate to just about any load that a new acquaintance or client is carrying.

Today, Hogan is president of the foundation that’s part of the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance. Hogan’s take is that, while the Alliance focuses on mid-sized and big business, the Foundation’s niche is helping owners of small businesses grow their expertise and fulfill their dreams. But Hogan knows well that no single group can address everyone’s needs.

Networking events? No. Meeting every caller’s need? Only by linking the caller to experts in that area. Giving owners the opportunity to learn from owners who have been through similar challenges? Absolutely.
