Joining the family business, Lauren Hendrix is now Director of Marketing for the HEX, LLC family of companies. After seven years at ASRC Energy Services, spearheading a rebranding as Director of Marketing and Proposals, Hendrix is taking a role at Cook Inlet’s only Alaskan-owned natural gas producer, led by her father, CEO and President John Hendrix.

In her new position, Hendrix works with Chief Commercial Officer Mark Slaughter on strategy, gas contracting, permitting, and communications for HEX Cook Inlet, Furie Operating Alaska, Cornucopia, and Corsair. This is a return to the natural gas business; Hendrix previously worked on the communications team for the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation.

Hendrix earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from The University of Mississippi and a master’s degree in corporate public relations from Boston University. She also holds professional certificates in finance, drilling, and gas handling. She previously worked for MSI Communications, Brilliant Media Strategies, and NANA Management Services.

Hendrix enjoys cross-country skiing, walking Anchorage trails, designing, and painting. Her newborn daughter is also the namesake of a Cook Inlet platform: after a successful drilling campaign this summer, the company rechristened the Julius R monopod in the Kitchen Lights Unit “Allegra Leigh.”

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.
