...Becky Hites is a formative advocate for Association of Women in the Metal Industries (AWMI). Her many contacts within the metal industry give her inside knowledge; how different products are made or what consumers do with the metal once received. She is able to use this information to help guide the New York chapter’s speaker choices for events the members will not only learn from but enjoy as well. Becky is able to connect with people on all levels with her quick wit and fantastic memory. Becky really enjoys meeting and talking with people and her enthusiastic attitude can be contagious when she is working on a project. Volunteers that have worked with Becky at the AWMI booth during different trade shows want to work with her again and again, she just makes it so much fun!

She has personally contributed to numerous metals industry projects being funded, and built, by providing her expert analysis and insight.

...Becky and I have interacted for over a decade on various projects across the metals and mining industry. As someone who was involved with John Correnti in many of his start-up projects, we often turned to Becky to supplement our initial research and market analysis. She has always been professional and thorough. At Big River Steel we utilized her for an analysis of expanding our product offering and new steel production platform. Her services were as always appreciated and valuable in our strategy development.

...Danieli has utilized Becky Hites’ services for over 25 years, first as an investment banker working on privatizations of Eastern European steelmaking operations and later as a project finance banker developing strategic business plans to obtain financing for new equipment investments around the world. In the first year Becky formed Steel-Insights, we reached out to her for a comparison cost analysis between EAF and BF/BOF steelmaking and market outlook research and found her work to be highly useful.

...Sims approached Becky on behalf of the BIR (Bureau of International Recycling) Ferrous Division and its World Recycling Convention because we not only needed her for her concise expertise on the steel and scrap markets, but to liven up the audience during an early morning session of a large convention. Once “class was in session” all of Becky’s “students” were fully engaged during the 1 hour presentation (no head down, phone reading here!). I am confident from the feedback and surveys taken that most participants left the room having a clearer understanding of the current market dynamics. Mission accomplished! Becky does extensive research and knows her clients and audience, thereby, perfecting her presentations. I found working with Becky E. Hites at Steel- Insights to be an absolute pleasure and professionally inspirational. I highly recommend to anyone in the steel business who need a higher level of precision; Steel- Insights is a true asset.

...As a member of the advisory board for the MetCoke and EuroCoke conferences, we have invited Becky E Hites to participate as a panelist and keynote speaker. Is this the first time? No, whenever she can make it out of her busy schedule, we are more than happy to have her in.  It always add to the overall scope of the Conference.  There are more than one way to make one specific statement. Some people would do it under a formal manner but Becky does it in a very relaxed and enjoyable way that makes the audience happy to closely follow her words. Her presentations have always been insightful and thought provoking.  Her easy communication behavior makes side networking also insightful and allows for further strengthening the relationship amongst the attendants.  Having said that, and closing my eyes, I can recall her typical and recognizable laugh that tells everyone that she does enjoy what she is doing and openly shares this feeling with everybody.  Hope that Becky continues with the good work and be keen to join us whenever possible.

...I am so impressed with the way and true insight that Becky brings to the table to all of us mortals that are not necessarily as well versed in economics like she is.  She translates a complex economic situation into lay terms that we can understand so decisions can be made in an informed way.  She is thorough and committed to the success of an industry that has been the backbone of the best country in the world. She handles an amazing amount of information to define custom made reports that will answer all the specific questions and interests of her clients.  Give her a chance and you will never regret it.  I can assure you she will surprise you every single time.

...Becky Hites is a globally renowned steel consultant.  She was actively associated with Qatar Steel in an important market study ‘Competitive Position of Qatar Steel’ when she was the Managing Partner of World Steel Dynamics during 2008 and 2009.  During this assignment, she carried out extensive research and analysis on long products including cost parameters to arrive at the cost position of Qatar Steel compared to regional and global mills.  I have known her very well since then and had a number of interesting interactions with her.  Her understanding of the steel business is incredible with in-depth knowledge of various steel markets across the globe.  I know that she has been presenting papers in a number of steel conferences and running her own consultancy firm.  I wish her good luck in all her new ventures and business endeavors.

...Becky is an experienced analyst in the Steel and Metals Industry.  Her many years on Wall Street give her a solid foundation for the financial aspects of the industry.  Her countless and continuing plant visits and personal contacts with most steel executives in this country and abroad have given her the insight that make her cost and production models extremely realistic and accurate.  Becky maintains very close and friendly contacts with her steel executive network which gives her access to information that would not normally be available to other analysts.  Her experience and personality bring a unique perspective to her work.  I have and would continue to rely on her analyses with a high degree of comfort and confidence.
