Toby Williams is President and Chief Executive Officer; Ryan Glenn is Chief Financial Officer; Steve Beauchamp is Executive Chairman; Kathy Ferruzza is Chief Administrative Officer.

Who actually makes buying decisions at Paylocity?
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.
