Thomas T. Flannery

Managing Director

Pittsburgh

Tom Flannery is the Managing Director of Boyden's Pittsburgh Office. He joined Boyden in January 2000 after thirteen years as a Managing Partner with another search firm. He is currently a member of the Board, Manufacturing, and Financial Services Practices within Boyden and is regarded as a thought leader in the firm.

Tom has executed senior search assignments in a broad array of sectors including manufacturing, engineering, financial services, and professional services. He has managed assignments ranging from CEOs, CFOs, and Board seats to acquisitions of companies for his clients and considers himself a generalist at a time when most search professionals are calling themselves specialists. He has attained the level of trusted advisor with many of his clients and is heavily involved in succession planning and strategic hiring.
When he joined Boyden, he also brought with him a significant amount of international business, primarily with German manufacturing and engineering firms.

Tom's early career included ten years with Gulf Oil Corporation in Gulf's domestic refining and marketing group and another seven as President of a company he acquired from Gulf in 1979. Given his experience in both corporate and entrepreneurial environments, he is equally comfortable working with both large and small companies.

In addition to his professional responsibilities, Tom has served on the Board of the Fox Chapel Authority and the Boards of several of his client companies as well as serving as a volunteer for several Pittsburgh-based charitable organizations. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire.
