Payfederate is an AI-native compensation management platform for HR teams and the consultants that serve them. It helps comp professionals make better pay decisions faster, explain them with confidence, and show leadership the business impact of pay.
Payfederate offers market pricing—including survey management, benchmarking, and pay ranges—dynamic job architecture, AI-supported job description management, employee communication tools, and scenario modelling for pay ranges and compensation budgets.
Payfederate is built by a team with more than a decade in compensation — who previously built and sold a compensation software company.
Has taken multiple startups from zero revenue to a successful exit: CEO of Compright (sold to Unit4), CEO of Kogentix (sold to Accenture), and COO of Cask Data (sold to Google). Former VP and GM at Intel.
Built two compensation companies and sold them: founder of Compright (sold to Unit4) and founding engineer at WWC (sold to Taleo, now Oracle). 15+ years developing compensation tools; founder of the SocialUp Foundation.
25+ years in development and architecture, from client-server systems to AI-powered, cloud-native applications — at Oracle, Taleo, and Compright. Designs the platform underneath every Payfederate module.
20 years in engineering, customer success, and product management, including tenures at Taleo and Apple. Owns the customer journey from onboarding through renewal.
15 years in compensation technology sales and partnerships, including Kenexa (an IBM company) and Payfactors (acquired by Payscale). Leads Payfederate's work with employers and consulting partners.
13 years in HR and Product. A former compensation practitioner at Crunchyroll who moved into product at Compright and Unit4 — so the platform is built by someone who has run a comp cycle.
Experienced CEO, Chairman, and board member in HR Tech: former CEO of Namely, former Chief Revenue Officer at Dayforce (Ceridian) through its IPO, and Board Chair at Mineral (acquired by Mitratech). Serves on the boards of 15Five, Asurint, and Payfederate.
They are short on purpose. Each one is something a customer should be able to see in how we build and how we show up.
Embrace change, push boundaries, and explore new technologies — compensation has run on the same tools for twenty years, and we think it deserves better.
Client success is the top priority. We measure ourselves on whether a comp team's cycle got shorter and its answers got more defensible — not on features shipped.
Empower businesses to optimize operations and reduce costs. Enterprise-grade software should not carry an enterprise-legacy price.
