In 2003, Warren Nakupuna Ah Loo founded Na Ali'i Consulting & Sales following a distinguished 30-year career as a civil servant. He saw an opportunity to continue supporting government missions while creating pathways for Native Hawaiians to overcome educational and career challenges. What started as a single consulting firm has grown into the Nakupuna Companies - a family of businesses that combine the broad capabilities of a national company with the agility of a small business.
After Warren's passing, the non-profit Nakupuna Foundation was established in his honor and certified as a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) in 2018. The Foundation assumed ownership of the companies, ensuring their mission to support the Native Hawaiian community would continue. Today, Nakupuna Companies specializes in mission & business operations, IT, facilities & infrastructure, logistics, and environmental services. Headquartered in Hawai'i with offices across the continental United States, the team delivers elegant solutions to the government's toughest challenges while generating over $15 million in giving to support scholarships, workforce development, and community initiatives.
