 Edye Kaanehe
Managing DirectorAbove and beyond. If you had to describe Edye in a single statement, this would unarguably be no stretch. As a teenager, Edye put aside the typical priorities of youth to begin her career managing one of many California small businesses owned and operated by her grandfather. She was briskly introduced to the headaches, uncertainties and liability small businesses face daily with regards to human resources and compliance with state and federal laws. More importantly, Edye learned the value of client relationships.
In 1996, Edye moved to Chico to expand her education. While there, her experience lead her to the corporate world where she spent five years as the Human Resource Manager for what is now the nation’s leading solar heating manufacturer. In 2003, Edye relocated and returned to her capital-region roots, again providing service to small and medium sized businesses. Since then, Edye has dedicated herself to furnishing superior service to a variety of businesses including retail, construction, manufacturing, hospitality, and non-profit organizations. Her knowledge, experience, and “customer first” attitude has made her an asset to California’s business community. As the Managing Director for Golden State Employer Services, Edye’s goal is to deliver an uncompromised partnership to each client that redefines their strategy for success.
