Prior to his expanded role, Mr. Pearson was the Director of Sales & Marketing at Halekulani for the U.S. and international markets outside of Asia; he will once again oversee all markets. Mr. Pearson brings years of luxury hospitality experience at Halekulani and expert knowledge of international sales strategies in all markets to his new position.

Mr. Arlos has more than 34 years of experience with Halekulani, beginning his career in the hotel's front office before becoming Concierge and now a key leader in the sales department.

Mr. Takaoka previously served as the Senior Sales Manager for Asia at Halekulani and Waikiki Parc and is now Associate Director of Sales & Marketing for Asia exclusively at Halekulani. Mr. Takaoka will be responsible for leading the focused development and implementation of targeted sales and marketing strategies for the Asia market.
