“In order to be successful in Hawaii you need to understand how local business operates and all of the unique dynamics and complexities. How you do business in Kalihi is different than Hawaii Kai, than on the North Shore, or on any of the neighbor islands. What I’ve done since I’ve been at Hagadone is remind people of the deep, long, historical roots our company has in the local community and economy, and I’ve seen a tremendous positive response and affirmation that this is what Hawaii’s local companies want: A business solutions provider that views them as a partner to success not a pathway for their own profit,” Schroeder stated.
