Esmark Inc. has appointed steel industry veteran Michael P. DiClemente Executive Vice President of Finance and Treasurer for Esmark, Inc., and its new formed company, Esmark Europe.
DiClemente will direct all financing and treasury management functions for both parent company Esmark, Inc. and its newly formed company, Esmark Europe.
“Mike’s significant experience in the public and private debt capital markets and commercial lending sector will be invaluable to Esmark and Esmark Europe moving forward,” said James P. Bouchard, Chairman and CEO of Esmark, Inc. and Esmark Europe.
Bouchard added that DiClemente will join seven other former U.S. Steel-Kosice executives at the newly formed Esmark Europe company and management team. “Our combined experiences and collaboration with the successful turnaround and revitalization of the Kosice steel mill will have a significant impact on our European operations,” he said.
DiClemente’s career background includes senior-level corporate finance, treasury management and mergers and acquisitions positions for companies such as United States Steel Corporation (USS), and Fortune 500 Company and USS spinoff Aristech Chemical Corporation, which was formerly listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Most recently, DiClemente was a senior financial advisor in corporate banking with an emphasis on commercial lending.
Note: Esmark is currently in negotiations to purchase Serbian steel mill Zelezara Smederevo which will expand Esmark’s European presence.
