Boston Metal Appoints Global Metals Leader Eduardo Bartolomeo to Board of Directors
Former Vale CEO’s expertise will help accelerate the commercialization of Molten Oxide Electrolysis for steel and critical metals.
Eduardo Bartolomeo, former CEO of multinational metals and mining giant Vale, has been appointed to Boston Metal’s Board of Directors. Bartolomeo is one of the most respected executives in the global mining and metals industry, and this appointment marks a pivotal moment for Boston Metal as we accelerate toward generating revenue from our Critical Metals business this year and building our first demonstration plant for Molten Oxide Electrolysis (MOE) Steel.
“Eduardo’s decision to join our Board is a powerful signal that Boston Metal’s technology and team have the potential to transform how metals are made. While his expertise leading multinational operations and deep understanding of the mining value chain will be invaluable as we enter the next phase of growth, this is more than a Board appointment. It’s a clear indication that scalable, cost-competitive and green solutions will be a reality for our industry and Boston Metal is positioned to deliver.”
– Tadeu Carneiro, CEO of Boston Metal
Bartolomeo brings more than 30 years of leadership experience in complex industrial operations, including transformational roles in sustainability, logistics and innovation. Most recently, as CEO of Vale from 2019 to 2024, he championed decarbonization initiatives, oversaw global operations and led the world’s largest producer of iron ore and nickel through a period of strategic reinvention. Notably, he implemented the Vale Production System (VPS), enhancing operational excellence across the company’s global operations.
“Boston Metal’s vision and progress are unmatched in the industry. Having spent my career modernizing complex global operations, I recognize how transformational MOE can be—not only by producing green steel, but for the broader metals sector. I look forward to supporting the company as it scales a truly game-changing solution for sustainable industry.”
– Eduardo Bartolomeo, newly appointed member of Boston Metal’s Board of Directors
