Richard Fruehauf, formerly of U.S. Steel, has been named chief venture officer of robotics and AI firm Carnegie Foundry.
Fruehauf most recently served as senior vice president and chief strategy and sustainability officer of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel.
As previously reported, he left the steelmaker in June.
In his new role, Fruehauf will focus on securing key partnerships and investments to support new ventures.
“Having worked with Carnegie Foundry during my tenure at U.S. Steel, I was deeply impressed by its unique capability to deliver a continuous flow of significant innovations,” Fruehauf said in a statement on Monday.
“I am excited to now play a direct role in helping to bring pioneering IP to market,” he added.
Pittsburgh-based Carnegie Foundry said decarbonization and sustainability are among the key areas the company is targeting for future market entry.
