Pacific Business News celebrates 32 business leaders who are Women Who Mean Business in 2025.
They include 31 outstanding women business leaders and our Career Achievement honoree, Susan Yamada, chairman of the board at the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
A profile of Yamada is here, and profiles of each of the 31 honorees are below, along with their thoughts on the challenges women face in business, and how the efforts to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs will affect their careers and businesses. They each also reveal something that most people don’t know about them.
