Stacy DelVecchio served as the SWE FY14 President.

As a manager for Caterpillar Inc., Stacey DelVecchio leads an engineering pipeline transformation project to ensure the best engineering talent is available to meet enterprise needs. She is also responsible for the engagement strategy with professional external organizations and the science, technology, engineering, and math education (STEM) strategy.

In her more than 23 years with Caterpillar, DelVecchio has worked in process and product development for nonmetallic components, production support for paint and process fluids, and the build and start-up for a green-field facility in China. A certified Six Sigma Black Belt earned that classification by working on projects that included lean manufacturing, failure analysis, and employee engagement. Previously, DelVecchio was the hose and coupling engineering manager and the new product introduction manager for Cat Fuel Systems. She recently managed the project management office for Caterpillar engines with responsibility for the project management of all new product introduction programs, continuous improvement projects, and cost reduction projects in the division.

A SWE life member of the Central Illinois Section, DelVecchio holds a B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Cincinnati. Her previous SWE experience includes the Corporate Partnership Council, the strategic planning committee, conference programming board, awards committee, and Society treasurer. She is excited to be serving as the current president of the Society.

DelVecchio’s volunteer efforts have earned her much local community and SWE awards. In her leisure time, she enjoys scrapbooking, reading, and visiting national parks. She lives in Peoria, Ill., with her husband, Kerry, and their cats, Abe and George.
