PairSoft has appointed Brian Rigney as its new Chief Executive Officer, bringing in a seasoned enterprise software executive to lead the company’s next phase of growth as demand for AI-powered finance automation continues to accelerate.
The appointment comes at a time when finance organizations are increasingly looking to modernize procurement and accounts payable processes while maximizing the value of their existing ERP investments. With extensive leadership experience across ERP, fintech, and enterprise commerce, Rigney is expected to help strengthen PairSoft’s position in the rapidly evolving finance technology landscape.
Leadership Experience Across ERP and Enterprise Software
Rigney joins PairSoft after serving as CEO of CAI Software, an ERP provider focused on mid-market manufacturers, producers, and distributors. Earlier in his career, he led digital commerce platform FASTR as CEO and also founded a fintech payments startup, combining operational leadership with entrepreneurial experience.
According to PairSoft investor TA Associates, Rigney’s background in scaling enterprise software businesses and building customer-focused organizations aligns closely with the company’s long-term growth strategy.
“Brian’s proven ability to scale enterprise software businesses, build world-class teams, and drive customer-centric innovation makes him the ideal leader to accelerate PairSoft’s global growth and expand the value the company delivers to its customers,” said Harry Taylor, Managing Director at TA Associates.
Expanding ERP-Native AI for Finance Teams
PairSoft develops AI-powered procurement and accounts payable automation solutions designed to operate natively within enterprise ERP environments rather than alongside them. The company’s platform supports a range of ERP systems, including Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage Intacct, Blackbaud, NetSuite, Plex, and Infor SyteLine.
By embedding automation directly into ERP workflows, PairSoft aims to help finance organizations reduce manual processes while improving visibility, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Rigney said the convergence of AI and SaaS technologies presents a significant opportunity for finance leaders seeking greater productivity without increasing complexity.
“I am excited to join PairSoft at such a pivotal moment for the market where AI solutions and the SaaS model are converging to redefine how businesses operate,” said Brian Rigney.
“PairSoft has an exceptional track record for customer centricity and understanding the real pain points of finance teams and CFOs. I look forward to working with this talented team to build on this strong foundation, expand our reach, and deliver even greater value to the loyal and ever-growing customer base we serve.”
Looking Ahead
Executive leadership appointments often signal the strategic direction technology vendors intend to pursue over the coming years. In PairSoft’s case, selecting a CEO with deep ERP, enterprise software, and fintech experience reflects the growing importance of AI-native finance automation that integrates directly with existing ERP systems rather than adding another disconnected application layer.
As CFOs continue to prioritize automation, procurement transformation, and AI adoption, vendors capable of delivering embedded, ERP-centric capabilities are increasingly positioned to support broader finance modernization initiatives.
Rigney’s appointment also highlights the continued convergence of ERP, AI, and finance technology, where success increasingly depends on combining intelligent automation with deep integration into the enterprise systems organizations already rely on.
