FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
U. S. STEEL EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER JOHN H. GOODISH TO RETIRE
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 2, 2010 - United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) today
announced that Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer John H.
Goodish has elected to retire effective Dec. 31, 2010, after 40 years of
service with the company.
Goodish, 62, joined U. S. Steel in 1970 as an accounting management
trainee in Pittsburgh. After spending 17 years advancing through positions in
the audit, accounting and finance areas of the company at locations in
Pittsburgh and Indiana, he accepted an appointment as division manager - coke
and chemicals at Gary Works in Gary, Ind., embarking on a 23-year operations
career at facilities across the company. Among the numerous and increasingly
responsible roles Goodish held during that time, he served as the operational
head of the company's Gary Works and Mon Valley Works facilities in Pittsburgh
before relocating to Slovakia in 2000 to lead U. S. Steel Kosice, the company's
newly acquired and first Central European steelmaking operation. He was
elected an officer of the company in March 2003 upon his return to the United
States, serving as executive vice president - international and diversified
businesses. He was appointed executive vice president - operations in June 2003
and assumed his current position in 2005.
Commenting on Goodish's career, U. S. Steel Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer John P. Surma said, "John's impact on our company will be felt and seen
long after he retires, particularly in the influential leadership role he
played in transforming our safety performance since 2003. The significant
improvements we have made in this area are a direct reflection of his firm
belief in safety as a core value and are reflected in every facet of the way
we lead and operate our business. John's leadership in a series of acquisitions
during the last decade has positioned our company for continued growth in North
America and Central Europe and in the critically important tubular products
sector, which includes the emerging shale basin developments. He has been
among our most effective advocates for employee development, the evidence of
which is apparent in the strong group of talented leaders who succeed him.
We celebrate his many contributions to our company and industry. His
friendship, loyalty and dedication were particularly meaningful to me during
our long association. We all wish John, his wife, Kitty, and their family all
the best in his well-earned retirement."
