Port of Seattle appoints ex Coast Guard Rear Admiral as executive director
THE Port of Seattle Commission has appointed former US Coast Guard Rear Admiral Stephen P Metruck as its new executive director.
Mr Metruck brings 34 years of executive experience in maritime, security and financial leadership to his new role. Most recently, he was Commander of the Mid-Atlantic Region, overseeing 3,600 military and civilian personnel, and before that, he was responsible for planning and execution of the US$10 billion US Coast Guard budget.
"I'm excited for the opportunity to lead an organisation with such significant economic impact for the region," said Rear Admiral Stephen Metruck. "Having served here before, I also know there is no better place in the country to live and work. I'm looking forward to being back."
Priorities for the executive director will include effective leadership of the organisation as it modernises and expands Sea-Tac International Airport to meet rapidly growing demand. The Port is also expanding its leadership in environmental stewardship and workforce development, the port said.
Mr Metruck, 57, will start work on February 1, 2018, and will be paid $350,000 a year.
