Mayor Alameda Announces New Leadership Appointments
Mayor Kimo Alameda announces new leadership appointments at two County of Hawaiʻi departments.
Effective Monday, Nov. 17, Daniel Girvan has been appointed Director of the Department of Environmental Management (DEM), and Wesley Segawa, who served as DEM Director since December 2024, has been appointed Director of the Department of Public Works (DPW).
“I am pleased to welcome Daniel Girvan to our leadership team,” said Mayor Alameda. “His extensive background in engineering and management makes him an outstanding choice.”
Mayor Alameda also expressed appreciation for Segawa’s continued service.
“I want to thank Wesley Segawa for his steady leadership and dedication at Environmental Management,” he said. “His transition to Public Works is a natural progression, as that was his original area of focus when we first met a year ago. With both Daniel and Wesley in these key roles, our infrastructure will be in excellent hands.”
Girvan has managed multi-million-dollar construction projects and served as President and Chief Engineer at Resource Engineering, Inc. in Michigan for 29 years. He also maintains strong connections to Hawai‘i Island, where he looks forward to serving the community.
Segawa has extensive experience in engineering, administration and project management. Prior to joining the County, he led Wesley R. Segawa and Associates, Inc., focusing on public and private engineering and construction management projects.
Neil Azevedo, who has served as acting DPW Director since March 31, will continue with the department as Deputy Director.
The appointments of Girvan and Segawa are subject to confirmation by the Hawai‘i County Council.
