To lead its new Alaska endeavors, Hawai’i-based commercial furniture and storage dealership Systemcenter promoted Aukai Allen as Alaska Market General Manager. In that position, Allen oversees operations across Alaska’s commercial, military, federal, state, and local government markets by setting strategic priorities, fostering community relationships, and developing the brand statewide.

Originally from Honolulu, Allen’s journey with Systemcenter began at an early age, learning the family business under the guidance of President Stephan Edwards. He later honed his skills as a project manager supporting Systemcenter’s North America operations, playing a key role in establishing the Anchorage showroom—an experience that inspired his decision to make Alaska his home.

“When I first visited Alaska to support our showroom installation, I knew instantly I wanted to call this incredible place home,” says Allen. “I’m honored to step into this leadership role and am excited to strengthen our team, foster relationships, and support the growth of the corporate environment and interior design space here in Alaska. I also look forward to contributing to Alaska’s vibrant communities while helping create inspiring workspaces that truly make an impact.”

What happens when a city with fewer than 300 residents becomes a major freight and tourism hub, despite being accessible only by boat, plane, or a one-lane highway/railroad tunnel managed on a strict schedule?

If you’re in the City of Whittier, you get busy. The city has two separate transportation planning efforts underway, including a safety action plan under the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All initiative, which focuses on improving safety for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and emergency responders. The second is Whittier Moves, the city’s transportation master plan, which serves as the long-term roadmap for growth.
