Who leads Paycom?
Chad Richison is Founder, Chairman, President and CEO; Craig Boelte is Chief Financial Officer; Brad Smith is Chief Information Officer; Jason Clark is Chief Administrative Officer. The leadership pattern is typical of a scaled software company: CEO strategy, CFO capital allocation, product/technology leadership, and functional operators for GTM and people.
Who actually makes buying decisions at Paycom?
The buyer depends on category. Engineering, product, security, finance, marketing, HR, revenue operations, or IT may sponsor the need, while procurement, legal, security, and finance govern the approval path.
For enterprise tools, sellers should map both the budget owner and the control owners. A champion without security, finance, or procurement alignment is unlikely to move a larger contract quickly.
