Ford Engineer Named to U. S. Steel Board
02/25/2016 - A retired Ford Motor Co. executive has been elected to United States Steel Corporation's board of directors, the company has announced.
Paul A. Mascarenas spent 32 years with the automaker and played important roles in the development of many of its vehicles, including the F-Series pickup truck, the iconic Mustang and the Focus. He retired from Ford in 2014 as its chief technical officer and vice president of research and advanced engineering.
Mascarenas currently is president and chairman of FISITA, the International Federation of Automotive Engineering Societies. The U.K.-based group is the umbrella organization for the world’s automotive societies. Its member societies represent more than 200,000 automotive engineers.
Mascarenas holds a mechanical engineering degree from the University of London, King’s College. Last year, Queen Elizabeth II named Mascarenas as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, an honor given to him for his service to the automotive industry.
His term on U. S. Steel’s board begins March 1.
U. S. Steel, incidentally, is now 115 year old, having been incorporated on 25 February 1901.
The company was formed from Andrew Carnegie’s Carnegie Steel, Elbert H. Gary’s Federal Steel and other operations. It began its life with a capitalization of approximately US$1.4 billion, making it the world’s first billion dollar company.
