resigned from the company. Robert Reich, currently Vice President and
Controller, will serve as the interim CFO and Assistant Controller, John
Duncan, will become Vice President and Controller. All changes will be

“The company benefited greatly from Paul’s
talents and experience and we will miss him greatly,”
remarked Hawaiian Telcom CEO, Steve Cooper. “He
leaves behind a strong financial team and I am confident with Bob’s
leadership, we will continue to build upon that foundation.”
“I have really enjoyed working with the
dedicated employees of Hawaiian Telcom and believe the company has made
great strides over the past year since I joined,”
said Sunu. “So it is a difficult decision,
but I believe this is an appropriate time for me to step down.”
