Chai up for the challenge at Maui Pine

A wide range of business interests at Maui Land & Pineapple Co. should make being treasurer exciting and challenging, said Darryl Y.H. Chai, who was recently named to the post.

"It's such a diverse operation here," Chai said. "Pineapple is the biggest, but we also have retail shopping centers - Kaahumanu Center, which recently won a national design award, and Napili Plaza - and Kapalua development."

Chai has more than 10 years' experience as a certified public accountant. He worked nearly five years at Pannell Kerr Forster - Hawaii and more than six years at KPMG Peat Marwick LLP.

Chai teaches courses in hospitality financial management at the University of Hawaii's School of Travel Industry Management.

He earned a bachelor's degree in accounting at the University of Hawaii.
