Caruso, Rich '83
Recipient of 2023 Distinguished Alumni Award
Before creating his own consulting firm, Rich Caruso spent parts of four decades first as a certified public accountant, and later as an executive for several companies, including positions as the chief financial officer at Ravenswood Aluminum Corp., Ormet Corp., July Products, and RG Steel; CEO at Neenah Foundry; and COO at Winner Steel. Recently, he was named to the board of directors for VPX Pharmaceutical and also serves on the board of directors at School Specialty, JWA Aluminum, and H-D Advanced Manufacturing, as well as several non-profit boards. At IUP, he was active in the Student Government Association and other organizations, and has continued to be involved by serving on the national campaign council and as president of the Foundation for IUP. In this role, he helped spearhead IUP’s $245 million Residential Revival that led to the replacement of the university’s student housing with modern suites.
