Hawaii Business editor leaving

Erika Engle of the Hawaii Start-Bulletin writes Sunday that Hawaii Business magazine editor Kelli Abe Trifonovitch is leaving after nine years to “pursue other interests.”

Engle writes, “Publisher David Tumilowicz will add acting editor to his responsibilities for the transition.

“‘Kelli’s DNA is obviously in the magazine and I think that really what is going to be her lasting legacy with Hawaii Business is that over the past four or five years … (she) has been trying to make the magazine more accessible to a much broader audience.’

“Audience expansion has been aimed at businesswomen, younger readers and small-business owners, he said.”
