"Mario played a key role in driving the company's transformation, including the successful implementation of The Carnegie Way," said Chairman David S. Sutherland.  "His impact was felt across our company and the steel industry through his efforts in Washington, D.C., to combat unfair trade and create a level playing field.  We thank him for his dedication to U. S. Steel."  

Longhi began his career at U. S. Steel in 2012 as executive vice president and chief operating officer.  In 2013, Longhi was promoted to president and CEO and elected to the company's board of directors.  He was brought to the company to launch a wide-ranging business transformation.  The effort, known as The Carnegie Way, generated marked cultural and operational improvements. 

"When I came to the company, I envisioned a five-year tenure, which I have completed," said Longhi.  "I am proud of the progress we have made, which solely resides on the people of this company.   U.
