Additionally, Steed was recently named as one of Utah’s Forty Under 40 by Utah Business Magazine. He’s an adjunct law professor at the University of Utah: S.J. Quinney College of Law, and sits on the board of directors for a number of public charities and companies.
“Malouf is a successful company dedicated to doing good in the world—for its employees, customers, stakeholders, and society at large,” Steed said. “As chief legal officer, my goal is to lead strategic initiatives that will increase the valuation and visibility of the company to ensure sustainable growth and development.”
