Fellows mentioned in this story: Micah Kāne

From Aloha State Daily:

Micah Kāne plans to move to greener pastures … literally! By September, he will become Parker Ranch Inc.’s next CEO, overseeing 135,000 acres of land and about 40 employees.

The current CEO and president of Hawaiʻi Community Foundation – the state’s largest philanthropic foundation – plans to split his time between HCF and the ranch over the next several months until relocating to Hawaiʻi Island. 

Kāne will start full-time at the helm of Parker Ranch on Sept. 1, in place of board chair Mike Fujimoto, who has served as interim CEO since June 2024. Prior to that, Neil "Dutch” Kuyper led the ranch, which is operated by Parker Ranch Foundation Trust. The trust’s beneficiaries include HCF, Hawaiʻi Preparatory Academy, Queen’s North Hawaiʻi Community Hospital and Parker School.

“Micah is an extremely talented and multidimensional leader who will immediately gel and inspire the team,” Fujimoto told Aloha State Daily by email. “He is definitely worth the wait for many reasons. For example, it is important for us that he has an opportunity to lead a smooth transition of leadership at HCF.”
