“Roberto has been a key part of the Esmark enterprise for many years, serving as executive vice president and as a member of the board of directors,” said Jim Bouchard, chairman of Esmark Steel parent Esmark Inc. 

“We believe that Roberto’s years of experience, not only with Esmark but also within the broader steel industry, position him as a strong leader as he steps into this next role as chief executive officer of Esmark Steel Group,” he added.
