United States Steel Corporation announced that it is implementing an enhanced operating model and organizational structure to accelerate the company’s strategic transformation and better serve its customers, to be effective Jan. 1, 2020. These initiatives reduce costs and more closely align US Steel’s corporate structure with the company’s previously announced strategic investments in leading technology and advanced manufacturing, including the recently announced purchase of a minority interest in Big River Steel, the newest and most advanced flat-rolled mini mill in North America, with a clear path to consolidation.
The realignment of US Steel’s leadership team around more nimble and efficient executive functions, notably to sharpen focus on operational and commercial excellence and promote technological innovation, will enable the company to establish a more competitive cost structure with enhanced capabilities to serve priority customers in strategic markets. Additionally, this enhanced operating model will create a new, differentiated U. S. Steel with a team that is charged with leading the execution of the strategy and increasing profitability. It also will further unlock the value of U. S. Steel’s announced investments in Big River Steel and at Mon Valley Works and Gary Works to drive profitable growth, deliver capital and operational cash improvements, and position U. S. Steel to continue to be an industry leader in delivering high-quality, value-added products.
Separately, and unrelated to the enhanced operating model, US Steel also announced that Sara A. Greenstein, Senior Vice President of Consumer Solutions, has resigned effective Oct. 11, 2019, to assume the role of chief executive officer of a publicly traded company. Joe Smous, General Manager, Construction and Converters, has been appointed interim Head of Consumer Solutions, effective Oct. 11, 2019, and will report directly to Burritt. Also, effective Oct. 11, program management of the construction of the endless casting and rolling line at Mon Valley Works, as well as corporate communications, will also report directly to the CEO.
In a separate press release issued, the company announced that Christine (Christie) S. Breves, currently Senior Vice President, Manufacturing Support and Chief Supply Chain Officer, has been appointed Chief Financial Officer of US Steel, effective Nov. 4, 2019. Kevin P.
