In 2004 when his stepfather John Kerry, was the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, Heinz quit his job working as a venture capitalist to work as a fundraiser and surrogate speaker for Kerry's campaign. Heinz worked on his stepfather's presidential campaign,[5][6] and spoke at the 2004 Democratic National Convention where he was considered a plausible candidate for a 2006 seat in the U.S. Congress.[2][7] In 2005,[8] he co-founded Rosemont Capital (named for the family's Fox Chapel property near Pittsburgh) until departing in 2014.[1] He was a partner in the Washington, D.C. firm Rosemont Seneca from its founding in 2009 until 2014, when he ended his working relationship with Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, after Biden and Archer took board positions on Burisma Holdings (a privat Ukrainian fracking gas company), which was owned by Ukrainian oligarchs Ihor Kolomoyskyi and Mykola Zlochevsky, the former Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources. Biden’s father was then serving as vice president and had been made the point man on Ukraine after February 2014 by the Obama administration.[9] 2014, Zlochevsky fled Ukraine amid allegations of unlawful self enrichment and legalization of funds during his tenure in public office.[10]
