KANSAS CITY, MO — August 21, 2018 — Marketing executive search firm MarketPro is pleased to announce the placement of Delaina Lee as the new Vice President of Marketing at BlueScope.
She will be reporting to Miguel Alvarez, President of BlueScope Buildings North America.
“We are thrilled to have Delaina join our team as we embark on a growth journey. MarketPro did a great job of delivering to us top talent. Delaina stood out from a slate of qualified candidates,” said Alvarez.
BlueScope Buildings North America is a fully integrated business that designs, manufactures and markets custom engineered metal building systems and components for industrial, commercial and community segments of low-rise, non-residential building and construction markets, and government applications. BlueScope Buildings North America draws upon a number of distribution channels to bring its product to the customer.
BlueScope is a global leader in premium branded coated and painted steel products; in fact, the third largest manufacturer of painted and coated steel products globally. The company has great strengths in engineered steel buildings in key markets, and is number one in the building and construction markets. They have a distinctive capability in engineered buildings and are the market leader in the two largest markets, North America and China.
BlueScope was looking to find a VP of Marketing to provide both strategic and tactical marketing support, and who could integrate marketing while managing a house of brands including Butler, BlueScope Construction, BlueScope Conventional, Varco Pruden and BlueScope Properties. This person would have the opportunity to build a modern marketing strategy from the ground up for a group of companies that came together via acquisition, take them on a digital transformation, and enable a salesforce.
“This was an exciting search for us to be a part of,” said Bob Van Rossum, President of MarketPro. “This key strategic hire will have a big impact on BlueScope and their growth for years to come. We always enjoy working on mission-critical marketing roles where the right talent can fundamentally move a business forward.”
