Bio

Paul L. Wellener IV is vice chair for U.S. industrial products sector for Deloitte, the world’s largest professional services firm, where he leads the Deloitte professionals who specialize in aerospace and defense, industrial products, heavy equipment, engineering and construction industries.

Paul comes from a long line of CMU grads, stretching back to his great grandfather (Carnegie Tech 1908) and including 14 Welleners in all. Nicknamed “Coach” by classmates, Paul was ever the coordinator of intramural teams, trips to Pittsburgh sporting events and various extracurricular activities while at CMU. These skills continue to serve him well as he gathers alumni from the Class of 1986 for reunions and encourages fellow Deloitte CMU alums to support important causes — most recently the Deloitte Foundation Innovation Hub in the new Tepper Quad. Paul has been an active recruiter for the firm at CMU for more than 20 years, connecting hundreds of CMU alums with positions at Deloitte. He was instrumental in launching the Northeast Ohio Alumni Network and served on the Tepper School’s Alumni Board for several years, including two as president.

In Cleveland, Paul gives of his time to the United Way of Greater Cleveland, Greater Cleveland Partnership, Great Lakes Theater, Cleveland Leadership Center, and Bike MS: Buckeye Breakaway.
