Cleveland-Cliffs has named Michael Hrosik as senior vice president of commercial, effective immediately.
Hrosik has over 30 years of experience in the steel industry in commercial functions, most recently as VP of flat-rolled steel sales for Cliffs.
He will oversee all the Cleveland-based steelmaker’s commercial operations in his new role, including sales, marketing, and customer service.
“His extensive experience, primarily with Cliffs and its legacy companies, ArcelorMittal USA, ISG, and LTV, will play a critical role in driving Cliffs’ strategy forward,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
Succeeding Hrosik in his previous role will be Michael Cooney. He was appointed enterprise director of flat-rolled steel sales and was most recently hired from Reliance Inc.
Cliffs said Cooney will oversee the company’s commercial relationships with service centers and non-automotive end users.
