Ryerson Appoints New Leaders
Not to run the company, to make the merger actually work.
$6.5B deal. Olympic Steel absorbed. North America’s second-largest metals service center, built in a day. But the deal was the easy part. Now they need Richard Manson chasing $120M in synergies. Frank Williams merging two completely different tech systems.
Daniel Rosenberg making sure none of it falls apart. Most mergers fail in the 24 months after the handshake. Ryerson is betting this structure is the difference.
Will it work? Drop your take below.
