Global Business Development
| Global Business Development achieves Cliffs’ worldwide growth strategy through the identification of acquisitions, exploration assets and partnerships which provide opportunities to diversify our products and end markets, gain scale, and expand production volumes. Global Business Development executes its growth mission through two functions:
Mergers & Acquisitions

- Valuation
- Due diligence
- Structuring
- Integration
In addition, Global M&A regularly reviews Cliffs’ asset portfolio and executes select divestiture and sale assignments of non-core assets.
