Dear readers,
Hawaii Business Magazine is proud to announce Ann Teranishi , President and Chief Executive Officer of American Savings Bank (ASB), as our 2025 CEO of the Year.
Ann has been with ASB since 2007 and became CEO in 2021, guiding the bank through periods of transformation. She played a pivotal leadership role during the COVID crisis, helping ASB manage unprecedented risks while continuing to support customers, employees, and the broader Hawai‘i community. Most recently, she helped lead ASB through its historic transition from Hawaiian Electric Industries ownership to becoming an independent, investor-owned bank in December 2024.
There will be more on Ann’s career and life in our December cover story.
Thank you very much for reading,
