who is the chairman of Arcelormittal company?

Answer 1

Joseph Kinsch, 73, is the Chairman of ArcelorMittal's Board of Directors. At the helm of Luxembourg-based steelmaker Arbed, he has been one of the key consolidators of the world steel industry of the last decades, first by reshaping Arbed's strategy and steering its growth, notably in Europe and Brazil, then by assuming a significant role in the three-way merger of European steel companies which resulted in Arcelor, and recently by negotiating a merger of equals between Arcelor and Mittal Steel.

Mr Kinsch joined Arbed in 1961 at its Burbach (Saar, Germany) plant. A year later, he moved to the company's headquarters in Luxembourg. There, he held various financial (accounting and finance) and industrial (steel processing) positions. Mr Kinsch was a member of the Group's Management Board from 1980 to 1991, became CEO in 1992 and Chairman of the Board of Directors in 1993. In 2002, at the creation of Arcelor, he was chosen to chair the Board of Directors of the new company. Joseph Kinsch holds a Master degree in Economics and is a Doctor of Laws h.c. He is the Honorary Consul of Brazil in Luxembourg.

His merits as an entrepreneur have been widely recognised throughout the world.
