Introduction Louise “Luisa” Kuaea, MBA is a highly skilled professional with 25 successful years of global management, marketing, and business development experience. Her expertise in building and profitably growing franchises while balancing the interests of shareholders is what makes her a tremendously valuable consultant in the business and non-profit communities. Luisa is a connector. She has the extraordinary ability to elicit trust from people of disparate backgrounds, to collaborate effectively, and to bring out their best for the betterment of the organization. Brief Bio As the daughter of emigrant parents (Nora Letuligasenoa of ili’ili, American Samoa, and Aomalo Fatu Su’esu’e of Utulei and Aua, American Samoa), Luisa cherishes her distinct but complementary Samoan, American, and Christian heritages. Luisa was born in Oakland, CA (USA) but grew up with her eight siblings primarily in the housing projects of Alameda, CA. Luisa’s family life and neighborhood experiences led to the development of her adept interpersonal skills. Her happy childhood/youth allowed her to excel in academics and athletics. Her strong support system gave her the confidence and courage to pursue her interests. In addition to her years of experience as a business professional, Luisa also worked as a Corrections Officer for the City of Hayward, CA (1997) and later a Police Officer for the City of Alameda (2007), where she also shouldered the responsibilities of a School Resource Officer and the Alameda Housing Liaison Officer. After several years of professional work across multiple careers, Luisa returned to college as a non-traditional student to pursue higher education. She graduated with Honors from Brigham Young University (BYU) with a B.S. in Family Studies (2013) and an M.B.A. from BYU’s Marriott School of Business (2015). Of all the responsibilities Luisa has fulfilled, she considers her roles as a wife and mother to be the most important and gratifying. Luisa views her 25 years of marriage to her husband Kenneth as the most soul-satisfying experience of her life. Together they have raised a precocious and beautiful daughter and enjoy living in American Samoa. Experience
