SAO PAULO, Sept 2 — Brazilian steelmaker ​CSN said on Wednesday that Benjamin Steinbruch, a ‌member of the family who controls ⁠the company, ​is leaving ⁠the position of chief ‌executive officer ‌he has held since 2002.

He ⁠will ⁠be replaced by Fabio Schvartsman, a former CEO of mining firm Vale, as of September 3, the ‌steelmaker said in ​a securities filing. Steinbruch was approved as chairman of the board of directors, it added.

The leadership change comes as CSN, which ​besides steel, has operations ‌in ‌sectors such ⁠as cement, infrastructure and mining, is working to reduce its debt, including by ‌selling its ​cement unit.
