Vaughn Vasconcellos Biography :

Vaughn Garner Akimeka Vasconcellos, President and CEO President's Introduction. When we started Akimeka, it was with five principles in mind. In Hawaii, we consider Ohana (family), Laulima (cooperation), Ho'okipa (generosity), Koa (courage of leadership), and Lokahi (harmony)as the cornerstones of our lives. We believe these principles are the foundation for Akimeka. Through personal enrichment, we achieve professional enrichment. Through caring leadership, we achieve teamwork. Through sharing of our "aloha spirit," we achieve cohesion. Our people represent the best in diversity and teamwork. They enrich Akimeka. The individuals associated with our company are our strength.
