Jeff Hansen, Vice President of Steel Dynamics – Human Resources, Health and Safety, will have Environmental Sustainability added to his title. Hansen, promoted as Vice-President in 2014, will now also be responsible for SDI’s strategy concerning environmental sustainability and climate-related matters.
Richard Poinsatte, Vice President and Treasurer of Steel Dynamics – Finance, Business Development and Risk, will have additional oversight regarding SDI’s long-term growth strategy and its relations with government and trade associations. Poinsatte joined Steel Dynamics in 2000 as CFO for one of the company joint venture businesses in steel fabrication and since 2008 has been responsible for the company’s treasury, risk and legal applications.
“I am excited and pleased to recognize these four individuals for their outstanding leadership and positive impact within our company,” said CEO Mark Millett. “Their passion and spirit of excellence reflect the foundational principles of Steel Dynamics.
