Alicia Moy, president and chief executive officer of Hawaii Gas, has been elected to the expanded board of directors at Bank of Hawaii.

Moy joined Hawaii Gas in 2013 after serving 12 years as senior vice president at Hawaii Gas’ management company, Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets. At Macquarie, she oversaw corporate strategy, strategic planning, funding and management of several utility companies, including Hawaii Gas, which was established in 1904 as the state’s only government-franchised, full-service gas company.

Prior to that, she worked for Morgan Stanley in the investment banking division, where she was involved in corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions for private equity clients from 1999 to 2001.

Bank of Hawaii, the state’s second-largest bank, increases the number of directors on its board to 13 from 12 with the addition of Moy.

“Alicia’s expertise in utilities and energy has given her a unique perspective on Hawaii’s energy ecosystem and how it is transforming to meet the state’s renewable energy goals,” Peter Ho, chairman, president and CEO of Bank of Hawaii, said today in a statement. “Given the importance of energy in Hawaii and how it impacts all consumers in the state, Alicia’s strong executive leadership in finance and strategic planning will bring valuable insights to our board.”

Moy holds a bachelor’s degree in finance and marketing from the University of Miami and a master’s degree in finance from the graduate business school INSEAD, which has campuses in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. She has been a member of the Hawaii Gas board since 2011 and also serves on the boards of Aloha United Way, the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, the Western Energy Institute and MIC Renewable Energy Holdings. She also sits on advisory boards for the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative and Women in Renewable Energy and is a member of the Hawaii Business Roundtable.
