ArcelorMittal names new president

ArcelorMittal chief financial officer Aditya Mittal has been appointed as the company president.


In a statement, the company said the promotion reflects Mittal’s increasing global strategic role throughout the organization. In addition to his role as chief financial officer, he is the chief executive of ArcelorMittal Europe.

He will continue to hold those responsibilities. He is the son of chairman and chief executive Lakshmi Mittal.

In other personnel news, the company said executive officer and executive vice president Henri Blaffart will retire at the end of the month. Blaffart currently serves as a member of the management committee and as head of human resources and corporate services.

 Blaffart has overseen ArcelorMittal’s global human resources efforts since 2013 and took on the oversight for its legal, communications, corporate responsibility, capital goods, purchasing, shipping and IT functions in 2014.

Blaffart began his career with ArcelorMittal in 1978, when he was hired on as a civil engineer in charge of product development with a predecessor company. He later left for a position with the University of Liege in Belgium to lead on research projects, but returned to a predecessor company Metal profil Belgium, where he worked his way up to chief executive.

Bart Wille recently joined ArcelorMittal from steel wire processor Bekaert. Prior to that, he held a number of human resources-related positions with Unilever.
