“Duke, Trisha and Genesis have consistently demonstrated their commitment to Hawaii State FCU and have all played integral roles in the growth of our organization – from the opening of our new headquarters, and several new branches on O‘ahu and Maui, to our newest digital banking features,” said Andrew Rosen, president and CEO of Hawai‘i State FCU. “I am confident they will excel in their new roles and will continue to contribute to the success of our credit union.”

After transferring to the facilities department, he worked his way up the ranks from a representative to specialist, security specialist, section manager, and senior section manager. He was pivotal in successfully launching Hawai‘i State FCU’s Salt Lake, Ewa Beach, and Safeway Branches, as well as the new headquarters earlier this year.
