Executive Changes for Gerdau North America Division

Gerdau is making changes in its North American leadership. Peter Campo, president of the North American long steel division, will leave the company effective Jan. 23. Gerdau CEO Gustavo Werneck will lead operations until a new leader for the division is selected.

“The recent change in our business portfolio in North America demanded a shift in leadership to sharpen the focus on profitability and, at the same time, seek innovative ways to better serve our customers,” said Werneck. “We are committed to improve our performance in North America, where Gerdau is one of the largest long steel producers, and to build a successful path for our future.”
