Kevin Dempsey will take on the role as president and chief executive, succeeding Thomas J. Gibson, who announced his retirement in March. Dempsey has served as AISI’s senior vice president for public policy and general counsel since 2009.
Also, the organization elected ArcelorMittal USA chief executive John Brett as chairman. Brett had been serving as the interim chairman following the retirement of Roger K. Newport this spring.
Before joining AISI, Dempsey was a partner at the international law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf and its predecessor, Dewey Ballantine LLP. While in private practice, he litigated numerous international trade cases on behalf of U.S. steel producers and other U.S. industries before the U.S. International Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the U.S. courts.
