OREANDA-NEWS. April 26, 2010. Jean Jouet, CEO of OJSC “ArcelorMittal Kryviy Rih”, was chosen today as best manager in the steel industry in Ukraine according to the TОР-100 rating by Investgazeta. Jean Jouet was one of the five industry leaders who shared the first place.

Top-100 is one of the most prestigious ratings in the country. Various competitors and other market players responded to a survey and assessed their colleagues on criteria such as personal efficiency (reputation, ability to advocate the company’s interests); corporate efficiency (business strategy, personnel and social policy) and business development (attracting investments, new markets).

This award demonstrates the ArcelorMittal Kryviy Rih’s leading role in handling the crisis and Jean Jouet’s personal attention to production recovery and investment obligations, especially in the social sphere.

According to rating organizers, the results changed compared to last year due to the fact that new criteria such as experience and ability to work in crisis conditions grew in importance.

Jean Jouet, CEO of OJSC “ArcelorMittal Kryviy Rih”, said: ”I am deeply honored by this award. This is a recognition for ArcelorMittal and our entire Kryviy Rih team who have worked very hard to build and further develop a sustainable, modern and transparent business in these challenging times. It also values the leading role of our company in Ukraine. Our aim is to preserve our 75 year legacy and build a modern viable business”.
