Bill Allen (corporate CEO)
Billy Allen is the former CEO of the Alaska oilfield services company VECO Corporation. VECO Corporation was an Alaska-based oil pipeline service and construction company originally founded by Wayne Veltri (VECO is short for Veltri Co). Bill Allen was born in New Mexico and at the age of 16 left for the oil fields of Alaska to become a welder to help support his family. Founded in 1968 by Allen, VECO began as a one truck welding and repair operation that grew to become a major player in the Alaskan and worldwide oil industries' support services business. VECO also was a worldwide player in the oil industry, having divisions in many major oil markets. VECO had a major impact on the economy of Alaska and employed over 5,000 people worldwide.
==Exxon Valdez oil spill==
On March 24, 1989, the oil tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground on Bligh Reef, spilling eleven million gallons of crude oil into the waters of Prince William Sound. The Exxon Valdez oil spill was the second largest in United States history.(second to the BP Gulf oil spill)
Under Allen's guidance, VECO (along with its unionized subsidiary, NORCON) was responsible for large parts of the spill's cleanup, hiring 2,500 workers to clean up the environmental disaster. VECO's quick actions are credited with limiting the devastating environmental impact of the Exxon spill.
Following the spill and cleanup, Allen purchased the ''Anchorage Times'' from editor/publisher Robert Atwood. Allen operated the newspaper until shutting it down and selling many of its assets to its rival, the ''Anchorage Daily News'', in 1992. Through an agreement described as "unique," Allen paid for space in the editorial section of the ''ADN'' for many years afterward to provide a half-page feature known as ''The Voice of the Times''.
