New publisher for Hawaii Business magazine

Bobby Senaha, who had been advertising director at Hawaii Business magazine since 2004, has been named publisher of the magazine.

Janis Magin of Pacific Business News writes, “Senaha had been serving as interim publisher since June, the company said. He replaces David Tumilowicz, who left the magazine to become a director of broker relations and client engagement at Kaiser Permanente Hawaii.

“‘Bobby has been instrumental in the growth of PacificBasin, and we are proud to recognize his contributions to our collective success,’ PacificBasin Communications President Scott Schumaker said in a statement. ‘We are looking forward to the continued value he will bring to this new role with Hawaii Business as we move forward.’

“PacificBasin Communications also publishes Honolulu and Hawaii magazines.”
