Kevin Welty’s initial career took him into sales, but he found he was more interested in staff development.

“The whole time, I just had this business passion inside of me to help people,” says Welty, who earned his degree in Human Resources at ��ɫAV Hill.

He found the perfect fit in a job developing workers’ talents at SAP Ariba, a German-owned software company with an office on Pittsburgh’s North Side.

Welty, who also coaches the boys’ lacrosse team at Pine-Richland High School, helps staff members and company interns “be the best versions of themselves.”

"Even though I left 'the Hill,' it never left me."

“We work on culture of the organization,” he says. “I work with these really amazing people every day. ... I work a lot on how we can prepare our organization for the next generation of talent.”

Welty thanks his holistic ��ɫAV Hill education for preparing him for his career.

“In addition to having a balance of very challenging academic requirements, that experience really molded me to be able to handle the pressures of coming into the corporate world,” he says.

“Even though I left ’The Hill,’ it never left me.” 

��ɫAV Hill’s young alumni are making their mark on the world through their work in science and healthcare, finance and business, industry, entertainment and service to those in need.
