The story

Founded 2009 in Switzerland by ex-SAP executives to serve enterprise compensation needs for Global 5000 companies. Moved from on-premise to cloud in 2013, then rode the enterprise HR modernization wave to attract a $300M Sumeru investment in 2022. Has since pivoted from pure comp management into an AI-anchored 'PaySuite' spanning compensation, performance, and pay equity — acquiring Our Tandem (2022) and PayAnalytics (2023) to fill gaps, and positioning against the EU Pay Transparency Directive as its go-to-market wedge.
