Employee Spotlight: David Kennedy

Meet David Kennedy, PWSA's new Marketing Manager.
David Kennedy headshot

As Marketing Manager, David will help PWSA’s Public Affairs team more effectively communicate with ratepayers and our communities. In addition to streamlining the team’s publications and writing processes, he’ll help identify new tactics to drive awareness of our projects, initiatives, and commitment to providing safe, clean drinking water to the communities we serve.

What made you decide to join PWSA? I’m a lifelong Pittsburgh-area resident and I love being part of this community. PWSA is responsible for providing a vital community resource, and our continuous efforts to maintain and improve Pittsburgh’s water and sewer systems should be more widely known. I’m excited to help educate the community about PWSA’s commitment and foster confidence in the quality of this shared, vital service.

What sort of impact do you hope your work will have in our region? I hope the strategies and processes I propose will help PWSA reach a broader portion of our community than ever before. By keeping the public informed on ongoing maintenance and improvement projects and our commitment to ensuring clean, healthy drinking water flows from every tap, I sincerely hope we can continue to build trust with our communities.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever heard? Try to take things one bite at a time, so to speak. If an undertaking feels daunting, start by breaking it down into individual tasks. Every journey begins with a single step!

What do you enjoy doing outside of work? You may find me at any number of concerts or festivals, especially during the warmer months! I’m a fan of a wide variety of music, and I love the energy of the artist and the crowd during a live performance. Otherwise, you’ll find me streaming my latest TV obsession, reading a book, listening to a podcast, or spending time with loved ones!

What was your first job? I worked at the Iggle Video rental counter at Giant Eagle. I did mention I was a lifelong Pittsburgher, right?

What’s the weirdest fact you know? Weird or not, sometimes I think about how tomatoes are native to the Americas and weren’t used in Italian cuisine until little more than 200 years ago...
