Kekepana International Services

Who is Kekepana?

Kekepana International Services puts together teams of consultants and experienced businesspeople most anywhere in the world to satisfy the needs of the client.  You can find out more about Steve Craven, our Honolulu-based owner and team leader, here.

Paul Walters, who splits his time between Hawaii and Malaysia, brings deep expertise in Asian markets.  Take a look at Paul's background here.

Kekepana is Hawaiian for “Stephen.”  Kekepana’s owner lives in Hawaii, so it seemed a good idea at the time.  It is indicative of the cross-cultural nature of modern business and of Kekepana’s multicultural abilities.  That may sound like “soft” stuff, but business isn’t always about the numbers.  Not if you are in it for the long haul.

Oh, by the way, Kekepana is pronounced “kay-kay-pah-nah.”

How does Kekepana work?

That depends on your needs and preferences.  Much can be done by long-distance and electronically.  That’s a good thing for a company based in Hawaii.  Hawaii is a wonderful halfway house between the Americas and Asia, but that also means it is equally far from everything.  That said, Kekepana goes where it is needed and adjusts to the client’s needs and wants.  Of course, if you really want to meet on a delightful island in the middle of the Pacific, that can be arranged.

Billing can be by the hour, day, week or month – or can be done on a project basis.  Retainers are also possible.
