Terry Umatum is Director of the Port of Alaska, the state’s largest cargo port and a central hub in Alaska’s supply chain. Located in Anchorage, the port handles approximately 75 percent of the goods entering Alaska and moves fuel, food, construction materials, and other essential supplies that reach communities across the state and serve roughly 90 percent of Alaska’s population. In this role, Umatum oversees the operations and long-term development of one of Alaska’s most important public infrastructure assets.

Umatum brings more than two decades of experience in transportation, logistics, and supply chain management across Alaska. He previously worked at Estes Express Lines, the largest privately held freight carrier in North America, and spent a decade at Carlile Transportation, where he oversaw a nationwide sales team responsible for more than $160 million in annual revenue and managed relationships with Fortune 500 companies including ConocoPhillips, Walgreens, and Home Depot.

A U.S. Navy veteran who served aboard the USS Peleliu, Umatum volunteers with Special Olympics Alaska and previously served on the board of the Armed Services YMCA.
