William Seiler Named as Vice President of Administrative Services

Westmoreland County Community College has appointed William Seiler of North Huntingdon as its new vice president of Administrative Services. In this leadership role, Seiler will oversee the college’s finance, facilities and purchasing operations.

Seiler brings more than 40 years of experience in accounting, finance, strategic planning, administration, and operational management across higher education, energy, transportation and corporate sectors.

Since joining Westmoreland County Community College in April 2025 as Director of Accounting and Controller, he has provided leadership for the college’s accounting functions, budgeting processes, financial reporting and audits. He has also served an important role in overseeing regulatory compliance activities and ensuring the institution’s continued fiscal strength and operational excellence in support of student success.

“The college conducted a thorough search to fill this position and we could not be happier to find that the best candidate already worked for the college,” said Dr. Kristin L. Mallory, president of Westmoreland County Community College. “Bill has decades of experience in accounting and financial planning, and during his career he has worked closely with purchasing and facilities teams on high-level corporate projects. He is a great fit for such a broad position.”

As Director of Accounting and Controller, Seiler enhanced the college’s monthly financial reports for senior leadership and the Board of Trustees, improved budgeting and forecasting processes, modernized financial policies, and developed new financial models to support both long-range planning and short-term cash flow monitoring. He also led the successful completion of the college’s annual audit and related financial reporting requirements while reducing the institution’s reliance on outside consultants.

Prior to joining the college, Seiler spent nearly two decades with CONSOL Energy and CNX Resources, where he held senior leadership positions including Director of Marketing Administration and Director of New Technologies Accounting. In those roles, he managed complex financial reporting and forecasting activities, directed accounting functions for multimillion-dollar operations, developed revenue and financial forecasting models and oversaw regulatory compliance efforts. He worked extensively with both internal and external auditors, and collaborated with executive leadership on strategic initiatives, acquisitions, and financial planning and reporting.

Earlier in his career, Seiler served as Controller for the Guttman Group’s (now Guttman Energy) river transportation and trucking operations. While there, he was responsible for all financial activities, purchasing functions, contract administration, and capital planning. He worked closely with operations and facilities personnel to improve maintenance planning, asset management, and resource allocation while helping guide investments in equipment and infrastructure. His experience also includes executive leadership positions with Atlas America, Inc. and Consolidated Natural Gas Company.

Throughout his career, Seiler has built a reputation for developing high-performing teams, strengthening financial controls, improving organizational efficiency, and delivering accurate, transparent financial reporting.

Seiler earned a Master of Business Administration with an accounting concentration from Duquesne University, where he was a member of the Beta Gamma Sigma honorary society. He also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Point Park University.

“I’m truly excited for this opportunity to serve the college’s mission of student success,” said Seiler. “I look forward to partnering with colleagues across the college to enhance our services, operate efficiently, and ensure strong, transparent financial stewardship to continue providing exceptional support to our students.”
