Fulcrum Partners Honors Roy Imai, Hawaii Business Leader

ATLANTA, April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fulcrum Partners, a OneDigital Company, honors Roy Imai for his fifty-seven years of service to the Hawaii business community. Roy has been a Managing Director with Fulcrum Partners since 2012 and a cornerstone of the Honolulu business community since 1968.

Supporting retail and business insurance needs of companies and organizations in Honolulu and across Hawaii, Roy has long been respected and trusted for delivering steadfast and reliable business insurance services. Working first as part of Clark Consulting and later joining the Fulcrum Partners team of executive benefits consultants, Roy expanded his focus to include executive benefits advisory, helping banks and corporations use bank owned life insurance (BOLI) or corporate owned life insurance (COLI) to effectively fund benefits plans for the reward and retention of valued key executives. He has also served family-owned businesses and mid- to large-organizations with estate and succession planning.

Partnering with Roy to serve clients are Andy Hart and Chris Nyland, Senior Vice Presidents Retirement, Fulcrum Partners, a OneDigital Company. Working together, Roy, Andy and Chris have brought creative and effective nonqualified deferred compensation strategies to companies across Hawaii. “It is very important to me, as I step back from daily work,” said Roy, “that my clients understand that their accounts will continue to receive the same focused level of care and attentive service.”

Andy Hart said, “Roy will be missed by his colleagues at Fulcrum Partners, but his retirement is well deserved after a lifetime of service to the Honolulu business community. Chris Nyland and I have been working alongside Roy for many years. We know the Hawaii clients personally and are committed to ensuring that we are there to serve all their deferred compensation and executive benefits needs and goals.”

A native of Hawaii, Roy played college baseball for the Division I, University of Nebraska team. His college years were cut short when he went home to Honolulu to be with his family during his father’s illness. Upon returning to his academic pursuits, Roy studied at the University of Hawaii, and later took specialized business and insurance courses at Cal State Fresno and Purdue University Lafayette. Devoted to his family, his clients and his community, Roy has been an active member of the National Association of Life Underwriters, the Hawaii State Association of Life Underwriters, a past Director of the Life Underwriters Political Action Committee, past Chairman of the Planned Giving Committee for the Hawaii Chapter of American Red Cross and past Director of Punahou Alumni Association.

The entire team at Fulcrum Partners joins in wishing Roy great waves for surfing and plenty of birdies and eagles on the golf course. For everyone at Fulcrum Partners, it has been a privilege to call Roy a friend and colleague.
