Last year’s cohort includes an Olympic gold medalist and one person who had two jobs and has since added a third.

Among this year’s honorees is someone who is now a member of President Biden’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.

This recent cohort includes people in design, multimedia, education, nonprofits, health care, banking and farming.

This cohort has 20 distinguished people, including two women recently promoted to CEO at American Savings Bank and Hawaiian Electric Co.

This cohort included leaders in hotels, human resources, health care and other fields, plus one person now working in the Executive Office of the President of the United States.

This group of 20 included Keith Hayashi, now interim superintendent of the Hawai‘i Department of Education, plus leaders in fashion, food, finance and other fields.

This diverse group included people in government, social work, startups, art and farming – and the recently promoted CEO of Hawaiian Electric Industries.

Hawaii Business Magazine profiled rising leaders that year in insurance, academics, tourism, tech, energy and other sectors.
