Ravi Mallela, executive vice president and CFO of First Hawaiian Bank, will resign from his post on Jan. 7. Ralph Mesick, vice chairman and chief risk officer of First Hawaiian Bank, will serve as interim CFO as the company conducts a search for a permanent replacement.

“Ravi has been a key member of our management team over the last three years,” Bob Harrison, chairman, president and CEO of First Hawaiian Bank, said. “We would like to thank Ravi for his contributions and wish him well.”

“It has been a privilege to work at such a fine and storied institution as First Hawaiian Bank,” Mallela said. “I will always cherish the relationships I have developed at the bank and in this special community.”
