MassPay, the leading global payout orchestration platform, today announced that co-founder Ran Grushkowsky will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2026. The leadership change positions MassPay for accelerated growth and reinforces its position as the undisputed industry leader in instant, fully compliant global payouts. Former CEO and co-founder Jeffrey Katz, who is stepping down to pursue other endeavors after leading MassPay for six years, will remain active on the company’s board and provide strategic guidance as the company scales.
Grushkowsky has over 20 years’ experience building financial platforms, scaling global operations and leading successful exits, including the sale of USend to Inter & Co (NASDAQ: INTR), where he served as COO and CTO. He has deep expertise in cross-border payments, compliance (AML/KYC), embedded finance, and fraud prevention. A serial entrepreneur and accomplished technologist who sold his first company at age 16, Grushkowsky has built, from the ground up, multiple ventures, including WireCash, ATMCash, and TrueMp3s, raising tens of millions in capital, building platforms that reached millions of users, negotiating enterprise partnerships, and leading M&A processes from both the product and deal table.
“I’m honored to step into this role at such an exciting time,” said Grushkowsky. “MassPay offers something truly unique – a platform that delivers the speed and orchestration capabilities modern businesses need to compete globally. Our focus will be on accelerating our mission to make instant global payouts as simple as local payments while maintaining the trust and reliability our customers expect.”
Grushkowsky co-founded MassPay with Katz which, in 2020, commenced to build its platform. Under Katz’ leadership, the company has experienced tremendous growth, particularly over the last year as businesses increasingly demand instant, global payout capabilities with built-in compliance and reliability. The platform now facilitates payouts across more than 230 countries and 70+ currencies while processing tens of thousands of monthly identity verifications through its embedded compliance infrastructure. This rapid scaling has positioned MassPay as the undisputed leader in the global payout orchestration space, setting the stage for greater expansion under Grushkowsky’s leadership and technical expertise.
“This is an exciting inflection point in our company, and Ran is the natural choice to guide MassPay’s continued growth,” said Katz. “His technical depth, global payments experience and ability to scale fintech businesses position us well for the opportunities ahead. With Ran at the helm, we’ll continue delivering the speed, reliability, and global reach our customers count on.”
