Colleagues describe him as "I had the pleasure of working under Marec's leadership for almost 8 years from 2016 to 2023. Marec is a strategic and innovative leader with exceptional communication and problem-solving abilities.
Soon after Marec stepped into the role of President & CEO at Castle Metals, the company faced the unprecedented challenges imposed by the Covid Pandemic. His ability to clearly articulate the components of a challenge, engage the subject matter experts, and logically evaluate a variety of solutions were key to bringing Castle through that challenging period. Ultimately, the Company emerged stronger and more profitable than ever and Marec lead a highly valued sale transaction.
Along with Marec’s significant business acumen across functional areas, his honest and transparent approach to leadership creates a highly functioning team environment and has proven to keep an entire organization highly engaged and focused through both good and difficult times. Further, during my time working closely with Marec, the well-being of his executive staff and the workforce remained a top priority. Marec made tough decisions with this priority in mind and there are several people in the Castle organization today that remain extremely grateful for the positive impact he's had on their lives.
All that aside, Marec’s a down-to-earth leader that can effectively engage at all levels of an organization from the production floor to the board of directors. Marec would be an asset for any organization, and I offer my highest recommendation.", "I had the pleasure of working with and for Marec for almost a decade during his time at Castle Metals. Marec is an inspirational leader who steadily guided the company through some of its most challenging times. He always walked the talk and created an inclusive environment in which employees could do their best work. One of the (many) things I admire about Marec is his unwavering commitment to always doing the right things, even if they weren't always the easiest things. He is someone you can trust to make the right call. He taught me the importance of being present in all facets of one's life, and that work commitments don't have to dilute your contributions as a parent, partner, coach, etc. I truly valued Marec's leadership during his time at Castle and I believe he would be an incredible asset to any organization lucky enough to have him.", and "Marec was serving as General Counsel at A.M. Castle & Co. when I was brought in as President and CEO in 2015 to devise and execute a turnaround/exit plan for long time stakeholders, Marec quickly became a driving force in developing and successfully executing a multi-year operational and financial transformation. Throughout the restructuring process, which included a pre-arranged Chapter XI filing that was completed in less than 90 days and provided for the assumption of all liabilities and infusion of new equity, Marec became increasingly involved in and ultimately charged with supervising all aspects of the business.
In conjunction with my planned retirement, the Board agreed with my recommendation for Marec to succeed me as President in 2018 and as CEO upon my planned retirement at the end of 2019. After overcoming the challenges of the pandemic which impacted the business only 3 months after Marec took over as CEO and executing on additional operational improvements, the Company achieved record results under Marec's leadership and successfully concluded a sale process in May 2023 achieving exit valuation well above initial goals.
Given Marec's unique background and skill set, his extraordinary business acumen, communication and leadership skills, and successful track record of creating stakeholder value, I offer my highest recommendation"
