U. S. Steel Announces Management Changes at Mon Valley Works
02/28/2008 - United States Steel announced the appointment of Lisa A. Roudabush as General Manager of Mon Valley Works and Mark G. Tabler as Plant Manager of the Clairton Plant.
United States Steel Corp. announced two management appointments at its Mon Valley Works operating facilities: Lisa A. Roudabush as General Manager of Mon Valley Works and Mark G. Tabler as Plant Manager—Clairton Plant.
Roudabush replaces Anton Lukac, who has been named Vice President—Engineering & Technology. She will report to Anthony R. Bridge, Vice President—Operations, East. Tabler, who replaces Roudabush at Clairton, will report directly to her. The changes are effective March 1.
In her new position, Roudabush, 47, will be responsible for overseeing operations at four facilities: the Edgar Thomson Plant (primary operations) in Braddock, Pa.; the Irvin Plant (finishing) in West Mifflin, Pa.; the Clairton Plant (coking and coal chemical operation) in Clairton, Pa.; and the Fairless Plant (galvanizing), near Philadelphia.
Roudabush started at U. S. Steel in 1982 as a student co-op at the Research and Technology Center in Monroeville, Pa. Later that year, after graduating from college, she joined the company as a management associate at the research center and progressed through a series of increasingly responsible research engineering positions before she was named Research Manager for Coated Products in 1992.
In 1994, Roudabush was transferred to the Gary Works Quality Assurance Department to serve as Manager of Technology Planning. She later moved through several different quality assurance positions in various areas of the plant before she was named Quality Assurance Manager—Sheet Products in 1997. Two years later, she became Manager of Technology for the department.
Named Manager—Process Technology at Mon Valley Works in 2001, Roudabush returned to the company's Research and Technology Center in 2003 to serve as General Manager of Research. She advanced to the position of General Manager—Processed Products in 2004, and assumed her most recent position, Plant Manager—Clairton Plant, in December 2006.
Roudabush graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 1982 with a bachelor's degree in metallurgical engineering. She also completed graduate-level work in metallurgical engineering and engineering management at the University of Pittsburgh.
In his new position, Tabler, 46, will manage coking and coal chemical operations at the largest by-product coke plant in the Western Hemisphere. Tabler joined U. S. Steel in November 2006 as Director—Coke Battery Assessment at the company's Pittsburgh headquarters. Prior to U. S. Steel, he spent 19 years at AK Steel, where he advanced through increasingly responsible management positions including General Manager of the company's Butler Works and its Ashland Works.
Tabler earned a bachelor's degree in metallurgical engineering from The Ohio State University in 1984.
