Hawaiian Airlines has now lost two of its top five highest-paid executives in less than nine months.
Chief Operating Officer Sean Menke is the latest executive to leave the company, according to a company filing Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Hawaiian said Menke will resign, effective Sept. 18, “to pursue other opportunities.” Menke made $957,316 in 2014, according to a proxy filed earlier this year by Hawaiian.
Menke previously served as executive vice president of resources for IHS Inc., a global information company, from April 2013 until joining Hawaiian in October.
In January, Scott Topping “ceased serving” as chief financial officer, but no reason was provided by the company for his departure. Topping earned $953,002 in 2014.
Several months later, though, Kamehameha Schools announced that it had named Topping as executive vice president of finance and chief financial officer, effective June 10. Before landing at Hawaiian, Topping spent 16 years in Dallas with Southwest Airlines and was vice president-treasurer when he left that company.
Shannon Okinaka, formerly Hawaiian Airlines’ vice president-controller, initially was appointed interim CFO but in May was promoted to the position on a permanent basis.
