David W. Grzelak Returns as Executive on Campus The Gannon community welcomed David W. Grzelak ’76M, chairman and CEO of Komatsu America Corp., back to campus in April as an Executive on Campus speaker. Grzelak spoke during special sessions and in the classroom to students, faculty and staff during his visit. Grzelak graduated from Penn State University in 1971 with a B.S. in industrial engineering and then obtained his M.B.A. from Gannon University in 1976. A 2001 Gannon University Distinguished Alumnus, Grzelak joined Komatsu Dresser Company on January 1, 1991, as vice president of sales and assumed the additional responsibility of vice president of service and sales in February 1992. He has since progressed through the ranks of the company, being appointed chairman and CEO in April 2002, giving him management responsibility of five U.S. Komatsu Operations related to the construction, utility and mining industries. He is married to Diane and has two children, Mike and Meghan. The Executive on Campus program provides an opportunity for exposure and interaction between successful alumni and students, allowing executives to share their expertise and serve as role models to current Gannon students. 24
