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.”

New Oil on the North Slope

In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
