UAE-based steel producer Emirates Steel Industries (ESI) has appointed Saeed Ghumran Al Romaithi as its new chief executive officer. Al Romaithi will be first UAE national to assume the position.

Emirates Steel stated that the appointment of Al Romaithi is a part of its strategy to increase the numbers of UAE nationals within the workforce. According to the company's 2010-2015 strategic plan, half of the people working for Emirates Steel will be UAE nationals by 2015. Currently, 25 percent of the workforce at Emirates Steel consists of UAE nationals.

Majored in electrical engineering at California State University, Al Romaithi worked for UAE-based General Holding Corporation (GHC) before he joined Emirates Steel as a production engineer.
