Olympic Steel announced three executive changes this week. James D. Post is promoted to the position of Regional Vice President and General Manager, Kevin L. Miller to the position of General Manager, Cleveland Division, and Zachary J. Siegal is promoted to the new position of Vice President of Strategic Development. The appointments take effect Oct. 1.
In his role as Regional Vice President and General Manager, Post will continue to serve as General Manager of the Chambersburg facility, while assuming additional oversight for Olympic Steel’s Cleveland, Ohio, and Mt. Sterling, Ky., facilities. The general managers of both operations will report directly to Post.
Miller will step up to the position of General Manager for the Cleveland Division. His career at Olympic includes progression from corporate accounting to Division Controller, Purchasing and Materials Manager, and, most currently, Sales Manager for the Cleveland Division.
Siegal began his career at Olympic in 2007 and most recently served as General Manager of the Cleveland Division. In his new position, he will be responsible for strategically developing new internal processing opportunities and growing the company’s product portfolio, as well as assessing company-wide operational and financial performance to promote best practices across all business units. In addition, Siegal will be instrumental in the evaluation of potential acquisition candidates and guiding the company’s overall strategy for profitable growth.
