PBN Forty Under 40 - 2007: Jerry Tanaka ‘95
Evidently, leading his team to the 2007 Iolani Alumni Basketball League championship wasn’t the biggest highlight of the summer for Jerry Tanaka ‘95. As the vice president of manufacturing for Maui Divers Jewelry, Jerry was recently named to Pacific Business News’ prestigious “Forty Under 40” which honors 40 young men and women who, in the eyes of four judges, exemplify a combination of excellence in their business careers and a passion for community service.

With a degree in industrial engineering from Purdue University, Jerry worked for several years in the Indiana area with Ingersoll-Rand, a security company and safe manufacturer, before returning home in 2003. Since that time, he has received his MBA from the University of Hawaii, has gotten married (to wife Enriqueta) and has been managing development and production at Maui Divers Jewelry as the Vice-President of Operations.
