🌟 Growing Hawaiʻi’s next generation of leaders.

Shidler College alumna Kaya Ishimine, BBA ’24, has quickly turned her passion for marketing, leadership and community-building into a fast-growing career with the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii.

After joining the chamber while still a Shidler student, Ishimine advanced from marketing and Chamber of Commerce Hawaii Young Professionals (YP) program roles to associate executive director. In July, just two years after graduating, she stepped into the role of executive director of the YP Program.

Today, she helps lead a network of more than 600 young professionals across Hawaiʻi, creating opportunities for members to connect, grow and lead.

As Ishimine says, “No one knows young professionals better than young professionals.”

A longtime interest in Japan became an international career for Shidler College alumnus Isaiah Nichols-Floyd, MBA ’25.

Nichols-Floyd came to Hawaiʻi to pursue Shidler College’s Global MBA Japan Track, where he strengthened his language skills, gained hands-on business experience and developed a deeper understanding of working across cultures.

A pivotal part of his graduate experience was a month-long internship with Japan Airlines’ Innovation Lab, where he worked on research, strategy, statistical analysis and a new business idea for the lab. He also completed Japanese language courses and a capstone consulting project while at UH Mānoa.

Today, Nichols-Floyd is based in Japan and works with SOLIZE PARTNERS in its Strategic Planning Department, supporting global marketing, communications and corporate strategy.

His journey from Minnesota to Hawaiʻi to Japan shows how persistence, language learning and global business experience can help turn a long-term goal into a career.
