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.

“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.
