Morefield Communications to bring on first non-family president

Morefield Communications’ fourth president is the first from outside the Morefield family since its founding in 1945.

Wesley Kelly, the Camp Hill-based business technology solutions firm’s incoming president, will take up his new role in late June after more than 21 years at the company.

Kelly joined Morefield in 1999 as a student intern and joined full-time as a Programmer Analyst after grading from Penn State University. Since then, he has held positions as operations manager and manager of converged engineering services.

Today, Kelly is executive vice president of sales and services at the company, a member of its Board of Directors and a shareholder.

Morefield Communications specializes in cloud and managed services, networking and infrastructure, IT support services and more. The Camp Hill firm has a second location in Altoona and employees across the state.

“We will strive to make the community better by making organizations successful through their use of technology,” said Kelly. “We want the next generation to benefit from their experiences at Morefield and see their work contribute to the communities they live in.”

Kelly replaces current Morefield president John Morefield, who will remain with the company as chairman of its board. He will also take on a role as client advocate.

“Wes has developed an unparalleled ability to lead over his 21-year tenure at Morefield,” said Morefield. “It is with a great sense of gratitude to Wes that I can transition into a new role at Morefield with the confidence that my grandfather’s vision, and the community we have collectively built over the past 75 years, will continue to grow in this next chapter under his guidance.”
