Harold Heinze
Chief Executive of the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority (ANGDA)

Considered an “engineer’s engineer”, Mr. Heinze has been leading ANGDA since 2003 in the planning, engineering, and development of Alaska’s in-state gas pipeline from the North Slope.

Heinze is the Past President of ARCO Alaska and has over 35 years experience in the oil & gas industry. He arrived on the shores of Prudhoe Bay six months after the 1968 announcement of its discovery and began working as a field reservoir engineer. Mr. Heinze went on to numerous ARCO management positions in the engineering, planning, and transportation of petroleum until his retirement from ARCO in 1990.

Alaska Governor Walter Hickel appointed Harold Heinze as Commissioner of Natural Resources in 1990. As Commissioner, Heinze finalized the land selection of 100 million acres granted to Alaska at statehood.
Mr. Heinze is well respected for his community involvement, creativity, open management style, and sense of humor. He enjoys living in the north and values the “Alaska experience”. He graduated with high honors from the Colorado School of Mines with a Petroleum Engineering degree, and has also served as an Officer in the U.S. Army.

He is married to Cheryll Heinze, a successful artist, retail shop owner, and former Alaska Legislator.
