Two Hawaiʻi business leaders have been elected to serve on Chaminade University’s Board of Regents as the institution marks its 70th year of serving students across the islands and Pacific.
The new Regents are: David Oyadomari, who is the founder and managing director of Ekklesia Capital, an innovation and strategy firm focused on developing small businesses; and Kristine Stebbins ’87, senior executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Bank of Hawaii.
They kicked off their three-year terms on July 1.
Chaminade President Lynn Babington, Ph.D. called Oyadomari and Stebbins longtime supporters of Chaminade “who fully embrace our University’s service-focused mission and are driven to help build stronger island communities.”
“We are most appreciative for the time and expertise they bring to the Board of Regents led by Chair Dr. Keiki-Pua Dancil that is working tirelessly to support and serve as our institution’s governing body,” she added.
Oyadomari, formerly executive vice president of operations at American Savings Bank, has more than 25 years of experience in new market and product development, cost reduction and organizational design and also serves as strategic advisor to FTV Capital.

A graduate of ’Iolani School, Oyadomari earned his bachelor’s degree at Claremont McKenna College and holds an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to serving as the president of the Claremont McKenna Alumni Association, Oyadomari is an advisory board member for Chaminade’s School of Business and Communication.
He also volunteers for other organizations, including the Hoea Foundation.
Oyadomari says he is committed to his family and faith, as a founding member of Kakaako Christian Fellowship, and seeks to live the values that Chaminade teaches—from moral character to building a just, peaceful society. He is married to Tammy Oyadomari-Chun, who is the deputy superintendent for Strategy at the Hawai’i Department of Education, and they have a son.
Stebbins joined the Bank of Hawaii in October 2020, and has nearly 30 years of experience in digital marketing, brand strategy, integrated marketing, product marketing, and channel marketing through the customer experience lens.
She was founder and CEO of Beyond Vigilant, a strategic consultant company that led clients through digital business transformation, and has also held leadership positions at Ogilvy Mather Advertising, Accenture, Ascentium, and Microsoft.
Stebbins, who is Catholic, earned her bachelor’s degree in communications from Chaminade.
In addition to her volunteer work with the University, including the School of Business and Communication, she has served on the board for Girl Scouts and mentored local entrepreneurs through the Mana Up effort and Bank of Hawaii Women-Inspired employee resource group.
