Former Nucor Chairman and CEO Dan DiMicco received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Charlotte Business Journal on Thursday night at the publication’s Most Admired CEO Awards program.
The CEO Awards recognize established local leaders who have a strong vision for their companies, have shown commitment to culture in the workplace and have made significant contributions to the Charlotte community. As the first recipient of a lifetime award from the journal, DiMicco was recognized for his work as Nucor CEO, as well as for work he has done in the community following his retirement.
DiMicco’s community involvement includes starting a local angel investing fund, purchasing the Charlotte Independence soccer team and serving on the host committee for the 2020 Republican National Convention.
“We congratulate Dan on this well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award. He is an important part of Nucor’s history and the success our company continues to enjoy today. As importantly, he continues in his retirement to work to promote the city of Charlotte and to support and grow new businesses in the community,” said John Ferriola, Chairman, CEO and President of Nucor Corp.
DiMicco led Nucor from September 2000 through the end of 2012, during which time the company saw unprecedented growth. He served as Nucor’s CEO longer than anyone since company founder Ken Iverson. During this time, Nucor completed over 50 acquisitions for a total investment of $6.5 billion. In addition to the company’s record of profitable growth, DiMicco proved himself an effective champion for domestic manufacturing and enforcing rules-based free trade.
