Stickler No Longer CEO of BRS, Still Affiliated With USS

Former Big River Steel CEO David Stickler and former CFO Ari Levy have moved to different roles but remain affiliated with U.S. Steel, a company spokesman said.
Stickler and Levy “are continuing their partnership with U.S. Steel as we jointly work on transformational projects of mutual interest,” the spokesman said.
“The remaining management and operations team at Big River remains in place,” he said.
That means leadership passes to U.S. Steel veteran Dan Brown, who has since July 7 served as chief operating officer of Big River Steel. He has been chief integration officer at Big River Steel since January, the spokesman said. That’s when U.S. Steel fully acquired the Osceola, Ark., electric arc furnace (EAF) mill.
Brown has also held management roles at both U.S. Steel and ArcelorMittal. He mostly recently served as general manager of U.S. Steel’s Great Lakes Works near Detroit.
“Dan has a strong leadership record in the U.S. and internationally with both U.S. Steel and competitors,” the spokesman said.
Brown has in addition worked at U.S. Steel’s mill in Smederevo, Serbia, which was acquired in 2016 by Chinese steelmaker HBIS Group.
