Metal Exchange Corp., a St. Louis-based provider of marketing, trading, manufacturing, processing, distribution and transportation services in the nonferrous metals sector, has announced executive leadership changes. 

Matt Rohm has been promoted to the position of president and chief operating officer. He will report to Rick Merluzzi, Metal Exchange Corp. CEO, and two divisional chief financial officer positions have been created to replace the enterprisewide chief financial officer role that Rohm vacates. Dan Jarvis has been promoted to chief financial officer of the Metal Exchange Trading Division and Corporate Services, while Dave McCoy has been promoted to chief financial officer of the Manufacturing Division.

Rohm will have day-to-day operational responsibility and oversight of all divisions and operating companies within the Metal Exchange portfolio (trading, cast products and extruded products) and all corporate services departments, according to the company.

Before joining Metal Exchange as chief financial officer in 2016, Rohm had more than 20 years of financial leadership experience, having served in positions with The Boeing Co., Anheuser-Busch InBev, Energizer and SunEdison. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial engineering from Bradley University and an MBA from Washington University in St. Louis’ Olin School of Business.

"Matt’s people-centric leadership style and strong drive have proven vital to the success of the organization," Merluzzi says. "We are very proud of his numerous contributions and hard work that earned him this well-deserved promotion."

“It is an honor to be asked to lead a world-class, evergreen group of operating companies,” Rohm says. “Metal Exchange is well-positioned for continued growth, and I am proud to serve our suppliers, customers and team members. I am very excited to have Dan Jarvis and Dave McCoy leading the financial function of Metal Exchange. Both bring strong fiscal discipline and leadership to support our operating divisions. Their promotions are a direct result of Metal Exchange’s intense efforts to develop and retain top talent.”

“The promotion of these three talented, high-integrity individuals ensures the operational and financial leadership needed to support the growth initiatives of Metal Exchange Corp. for years to come,” Metal Exchange Executive Chairman Mike Lefton says.
