It’s Daniel Orodenker. And he’s no stranger to preservation issues. 

From a DBEDT press release announcing the hire: 

Mr. Orodenker holds a law degree from the University of San Diego. He has practiced law in Honolulu, focusing on administrative law.  Between 1990 to 1996 he served in a variety of government positions including: director of the Honolulu Waterfront Program, acting executive director of the Aloha Tower Development Corporation, and assistant to the director of DBEDT. 

He also has a strong non-profit and environmental background.  In the late 1980s he assisted the Lanikai Association in preserving the ridge above Lanikai from development.
