Kevin Beardsley will succeed Deb DeLuca as the executive director of the Duluth Seaway Port Authority, effective June 3, 2025.
Beardsley has served as the port authority’s chief financial officer since 2014. In this role, he oversaw the investment of more than USD35 million in capital projects that have increased capacity and efficiency at the port of Duluth-Superior.
The search for a replacement chief financial officer will begin early this summer.
DeLuca, who first joined the port as its government and environmental affairs director in 2014 before becoming the executive director in 2018, is retiring later this month.
