Dave Keuning, a former CEO from Honolulu, started a successful software company in Japan that saw multi-million dollar revenues and 60% yearly growth, but found it very challenging to run without the support of other CEOs. He discovered Vistage, which organizes CEO peer groups, and started his own in Japan. However, after an earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima disaster, he decided to move back to Hawaii and restart a Vistage CEO peer group in Honolulu to provide unbiased feedback and help local business leaders improve their decision making and business results.
