Craig Bouchard, CEO of Braidy Industries, said, "Mike's extensive executive experience in the aluminium industry will be of unique advantage to Braidy Industries as we move forward with the construction of our world-class aluminium rolling mill. His track record in operations and finance, and experience building a successful commercial mill will prove instrumental to achieving our objective of developing lighter and stronger low-carbon alloys for America and territory beyond."

Mr. Otero said, "I am thrilled to join the Braidy Industries team creating a generational shift in the production of aluminium and other lightweighting materials. Working alongside my uniquely talented colleagues, we have our common goal of bringing economic revitalization to Appalachia."
