Every tabletop game requires a ruleset, an end goal, and players. The Top 49ers are major players at the “successful Alaska business” table, having set their sights on positive outcomes and refusing to step away while there’s still work to be done. On this cover, Andrea Gusty (center), president and CEO of The Kuskokwim Corporation, which represents ten Alaska villages along the Kuskokwim River; Geoff Lundfelt (right), president and CEO of Global Credit Union, which now serves more than 750,000 members; and Chris Devine (left), president and CEO of Craig Taylor Equipment, which recently acquired Peterbilt of Alaska, are representatives of the many world-class executives who meticulously plan for the future—and occasionally roll the dice—leading their companies to even bigger and brighter futures.
