Recognition honors Tarwasokono among 50 regional leaders helping shape the future of the Piedmont Triad
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Oct. 23, 2026 — Allegacy Financial® President and CEO Nathanael Tarwasokono has been named a 2026 Power Player by Triad Business Journal, recognizing him among 50 leaders helping shape the future of the Piedmont Triad.
Tarwasokono was recognized alongside fellow Power Players at an Oct. 22 reception at Wake Forest University's Bridger Field House, following the Piedmont Triad Partnership's State of the Region event. Now in its 10th year, Triad Business Journal's annual Power Players program recognizes 50 leaders from across the region.
“North Carolina is home for my family and me, so it's especially meaningful to be recognized alongside people who care deeply about North Carolina’s future,” Tarwasokono said. “What makes this state special is what happens when people invest in one another, build strong relationships, and stay committed to the communities we share. I'm grateful to be part of that work with our team at Allegacy and so many dedicated leaders across the region.”
Tarwasokono's connection to North Carolina began long before he joined Allegacy Financial as president and CEO in 2024. After immigrating to the United States from Singapore with his family at age 8, he grew up in Lenoir before beginning his financial services career in Arizona.
Throughout his career, Tarwasokono has focused on building organizations grounded in strong relationships, service, and community connection. At Allegacy Financial, that approach reflects the organization's purpose: to build lifelong relationships that help North Carolinians thrive.
As Allegacy Financial continues to grow across the state, its purpose remains the same: to build life-long relationships that help North Carolinians thrive.
