Glenn K.L Yee Named Island Air Chief Financial Officer

Glenn K.L. Yee, a veteran financial officer and executive for several well-known Hawaii businesses, has been named chief financial officer of Island Air. Yee assumed his new position on July 8.

“Glenn is a highly respected corporate finance figure in Hawaii and is great addition to our evolving Island Air team,” said Island Air CEO Paul Casey. “He brings with him the experience Island Air needs to expand into a modern interisland air carrier that will serve not only visitors, but residents who depend on air travel to move between the islands.”

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help build a much-needed, strong alternative airline for Hawaii,” Yee said. “I’m inspired by the vision that Paul Casey has not only for Island Air but for the Hawaii visitor industry and by their response to the need for Island residents to have a dependable and affordable means of interisland travel.”

Yee brings a wealth of experience to his position, having most recently been chief financial officer and treasurer for Steeltech, Inc., a major Hawaii specialty contractor focusing on the design and construction of industrial and commercial buildings.
