Gary Caulfield, vice chairman and chief information officer of First Hawaiian Bank, is retiring after 34 years at the bank.

Caulfield began his banking career with First Hawaiian in 1983 as an assistant vice president and quickly rose through the ranks. He was named vice chairman in 2003 and chief information officer in 2009 and has been a member of the bank’s senior management committee since 1995.

“Throughout his tenure with the bank, Gary has played a pivotal role in leading numerous technology systems conversions and operational changes while minimizing disruption to customer service,” First Hawaiian Chairman and CEO Bob Harrison said today.

Caulfield will be succeeded by Derek Baughman, executive vice president, as the bank’s chief information officer. Baughman assumes his new role effective March 1. Baughman has over 27 years of experience in the information technology industry with 22 of those years working with banks. He joined First Hawaiian in 2014.
