Pulse Technology’s Kyle Sallmen Promoted to Director of Information Technology
written by Mark Vruno | January 20, 2026
Pulse Technology, a seven-decade family business serving the IT, managed print services, and other technology needs of businesses throughout the Midwest and beyond, has announced the promotion of Kyle Sallmen to the position of director of information technology (IT).
In this role, he will lead the company’s IT department throughout its market area in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, overseeing and directing the Managed Services (IT) programs for Pulse’s many clients. In addition, he will continue his duties as the company’s Virtual Chief Information Officer (VCIO), the position from which he was promoted. In his dual role, he will also serve as liaison between the IT team and the clients the company supports.
Sallmen, a resident of suburban Chicago, joined Pulse Technology in January of 2023 as virtual chief information officer—the front‑line person working with the IT team, the technicians and the clients. He routinely conducts reviews with clients and has served as project manager to make certain that every IT engagement is completed satisfactorily.
Sallmen joined the Pulse team after a career in information technology that includes experience on a help desk, as project manager, and IT director. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Information Systems from Illinois State University, and a Masters in Business IT from De Paul University. The married father of two enjoys spending time with family, as well as baseball, football, and flying drones.
Vince Miceli, vice president of technology development, said, "Managed Services (IT) is a critical part of the Pulse offerings. Kyles has served us well as VCIO, showing a great depth of knowledge and experience, and the ability to work well with clients. He is the ideal choice to lead our IT team, and we are delighted to welcome him to this new role."
