Effective in September, former Goldman Sachs analyst Emily Chieng is joining U.S. Steel as the Pittsburgh-based steelmaker’s new investor relations officer.

Chieng succeeds and will report to Kevin Lewis, who became VP of finance in December.
Chieng previously served as VP of equity research for the North American metals and mining segment of Goldman Sachs. Before joining the investment firm in 2014, she worked for mining giant BHP Billiton.
“As we continue to successfully execute our strategy to maximize stockholder value, I am thrilled to welcome Emily to U.S. Steel,” Lewis said of her appointment.
“Her extensive experience as a research analyst in the sector is an exciting addition to our existing investor relations team. Emily has built a reputation of understanding the metals and mining industry and effectively communicating with the financial community. I’m eager for Emily to engage with our current and future stockholders,” he added.
