...The Pacific Bridge Companies (TPBC) not only incorporates Hawaiian cultural values in its internal operations, but it extends them to their advisors and their clients. To understand how cultural values could be implemented as business practices, I [Chris Komae] interviewed three employees of the company whose headquarters is in Monrovia: Stephanie Nagami, Head of Marketing and Distribution and President of Pacific Bridge Insurance Services; Sheri Chan, Ambassador of Aloha and Creator of Magical Experiences (event planning); and Hozumi Hanada, Head of the Japanese Division and President of Pacific Bridge Wealth Resources.

The Pacific Bridge Companies (TPBC), global wealth management firm and home of Aloha Financial Advisors, announced the expansion of its Executive Team with Kathleen Benjamin as Chief Integration Officer. Benjamin will work with Founder and CEO, Stephen Kagawa, to execute TPBC's business plan, ensure the Executive Team is functioning at its highest level and TPBC's operations align with the organization's vision, missions, guiding principles and core values.

Author Stephen Kagawa has achieved #1 status on the Amazon.com best-seller list with his recently published book, "Aloha Financial Advising: Doing Good to Do Better for Your Clients and Yourself." Drawing on his personal experience and success, Kagawa presents a new paradigm for taking client relationships to the next level by focusing on listening and serving to build trust versus quotas and selling.

Pacific Bridge Insurance Services, a subsidiary of wealth management firm, The Pacific Bridge Companies, Inc., announced the promotion of Stephanie Nagami to President. She holds the distinction of being named the first female president of Pacific Bridge Insurance Services, joining the ranks with two other women presidents who lead Pacific Bridge Wealth Resources and Pacific Bridge Real Estate.

For young Stephen Kagawa, the date meant a chance to have a nice dinner with a lady and who knows where things might lead? That the evening changed his life is not the surprising part. That it matched him to a lifelong love for life insurance and financial planning is...

Kagawa’s practice connects financial advisors from the disciplines of insurance, investing, banking, tax, and the law to serve the financial needs of multinational individuals and families. He helps ethnic communities and first-generation Americans migrating from Asia acclimate financially to their lives in the United States and is committed to making sure this community is afforded full and equal access to financial understanding, opportunities, advice, products, and services.
