This is episode 49 of the Leaders in Payments podcast and Ron Israch, the Chief Marketing Officer for Tipalti, is our special guest this week. Rob has been at Tipalti for over 6 years ad runs marketing and all alliances for the company. He grew up in south Florida and moved up and down the east coast and then finally to the west coast where he’s been for the last 20 years. His family is originally from South Africa. Tipalti is a comprehensive, global payables automation solution that automates all manual supplier payment processes. Its customers typically wipe out 80% of their payables workload, enabling them to focus on mission-critical initiatives. Tipalti helps strengthen compliance and financial controls, avoid future AP headcount requirements, accelerate the financial close by 25%, and employ AP best practices. Rob differentiates mass-pay workflows which you would see in gig economy, online marketplaces, internet, gaming, and more modern economies versus the more traditional accounts payable workflows like you would see from software companies, manufacturing, healthcare, etc. Tipalti excels at both solutions and serves customers across all verticals.  www.tipalti.com
