2017 Black Book: 326 Profiles of Hawaiʻi Executives
To diversify this list, we have included top honorees and executives from three major Hawaii Business programs.
Welcome to the 21st annual Black Book from Hawaii Business magazine – a valuable resource for local businesses. It includes biographies from the executives of the Top 250 companies in Hawaii (August issue) and other local organizations.
