Who We Are
Waikā Consulting LLC is a Hawaiʻi-based company dedicated to advancing sustainable, community-centered development. Rooted in cultural respect and powered by purpose, we specialize in geothermal energy projects, native-to-native business partnerships, and strategies that honor and uplift our communities.
We believe in collaboration that protects cultural values, preserves the ʻāina (land), and reinvests in the people. Every initiative we support is designed to create long-term impact and true equity.
Our foundation is built on values that honor people, place, and purpose.
Aloha ʻĀina
Love and stewardship of the land.
Kuleana
Responsibility to community and culture.
Hoʻokipa
Welcoming partnerships rooted in trust.
Pono
Doing what is right and just.

Leadership
Our leadership is grounded in deep cultural understanding, professional expertise, and years of experience in working alongside Indigenous communities across the Pacific.
We continue the legacy of collaboration built through our parent company, IDG Hawaiʻi, whose partnerships with Māori trusts and other Indigenous-led organizations have led to transformative outcomes. Our work honors the vision of leaders like Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu and Tumu Te Heuheu, who opened doors for Native-to-Native partnerships that uplift both people and land.
