Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, November 2025 — Tom Boylan has been appointed as Director of Talent Acquisition at Armstrong Group, a diversified family-owned enterprise with operations across telecommunications, security, technology, energy, and manufacturing sectors.

His focus will be on driving innovation in recruitment strategy, employer branding, and process optimization to strengthen the company’s talent pipeline across its seven business divisions.
