Franklin. “Moreover, his passion for racial equity is deeply aligned with our ongoing commitment to increase diversity at all levels of the organization.”

Prior to his appointment at U.S. Steel, Lewis managed a $30 billion pension fund for the Pennsylvania State Employees’ Retirement System (SERS), and previously served as the executive director of the $20 billion Illinois State Universities Retirement System. He holds an MBA from the University of Miami and a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Maryland College Park.
