Yuka is currently President of Astia Access. Astia was founded in Silicon Valley in 1999 as a non-profit organization dedicated to identifying and promoting best-in-class women high-growth entrepreneurs. Originally from Japan, Yuka co-founded 2 tech start-ups in Hawaii: LavaNet, one of Hawaii’s first Internet Service Providers and TikiTechnologies, which offered spam filtering services.

During her time as CEO of HTDC, I was a tenant of theirs at the Manoa Innovation Center.
