Bank of Hawaii Names a Retail Chief

Bank of Hawaii Corp. made several senior management changes Monday, including giving Peter S. Ho, a vice chairman and chief banking officer, oversight of all revenue-generating banking functions at the $10.7 billion-asset Honolulu company.

Mr. Ho, 42, who has headed commercial banking and investment services since January 2006, will add retail banking to his duties, Al Landon, Bank of Hawaii's chairman and chief executive, said in a press release.

Dave Thomas, a vice chairman and the chief operating officer since January 2006, had headed the retail business but plans to leave Bank of Hawaii soon, because he has completed an effort to refocus the retail business on its core markets, the company said.

Also Monday, Bank of Hawaii said that Shelley Thompson, 58, a senior executive vice president and its chief fiduciary officer, has been promoted to vice chairman and head of investment services. She has been with the company since 2005.

Kathy Fujihara-Chong, an executive vice president, was promoted to senior executive vice president and manager of the business banking division. She has been with Bank of Hawaii since 1981.

Thomas J. Koide, an executive vice president, was promoted to senior executive vice president and manager of the company's Hawaii branch division. Mr. Koide, 55, has been with Bank of Hawaii since 1974 and will oversee retail distribution channels, including its Hawaii branches, automatic teller network, and call center.

Also, Wayne Hamano, a senior executive vice president, has added the title of chief commercial officer.

Ms. Thompson, Ms. Fujihara-Chong, Mr. Koide, and Mr. Hamano will report to Mr. Ho.

The promotions took effect Friday.
