Payroll Network, Inc. (PNI), a leading provider of payroll, human capital management (HCM), and HR Advisor solutions, is delighted to announce the addition of Mary Grothe as our new Chief Revenue Officer. Across the business, you can hear the excitement about what Mary's addition means for our future.

"We are thrilled to welcome Mary Grothe as our new Chief Revenue Officer at Payroll Network," said Kathy Klenner, President of PNI. "As an experienced revenue leader who has scaled multiple companies with her own business, she brings an in-depth understanding of holistic revenue strategy that integrates sales, marketing, branding, customer success, and revenue operations that will help PNI continue to strengthen our team's ability to provide the best customer experience possible through interdepartmental efficiency via optimized processes."

"Mary's drive, passion, and dedication to success will be a vital contributor to our continued commitment to helping our clients navigate the complexities of managing payroll and HR processes within their businesses while cohesively managing the entire employee lifecycle. We are so excited Mary has chosen to join us and look forward to her leadership as we continue to grow," expressed Kathy.

George Sarbacher, CEO and Co-Founder of Payroll Network, Inc., echoed similar sentiments: "We are very pleased to welcome Mary to the Payroll Network team. Her deep understanding of the payroll industry and commitment to operational excellence will ensure that our payroll and HR solutions remain at the forefront. As we celebrate our 25th year in business, Mary's expertise in streamlining cross-functional departments could not have come at a better time. We're confident that her addition to our executive team will help us continue to deliver award-winning client experiences and position us for long-term growth and expansion over the next few years."

With close to two decades of experience as a revenue leader within the payroll and professional services space, Mary is ready to take on her new role as Chief Revenue Officer:

"I am grateful for my professional journey to this point. After selling millions in revenue over 8 years as a payroll and HCM sales representative and navigating a combined total of 8 years as a Founder and CEO, I am ready to embark on what I believe will be the greatest accomplishment of my career," said Mary Grothe, Chief Revenue Officer of Payroll Network, Inc. "When I started as the Interim CRO in October of last year, I knew in my heart that I wanted to make a longer-term commitment and not be on a month-to-month contract. I was fully invested on Day 1, and I am honored to officially step into the Chief Revenue Officer role and lead our marketing and sales teams."

"As we aim to triple in size over the next five years, my passion for holistic scale is centered on doing what is right for everyone involved, and we're going to do this without compromising our clients' experience or our teams' well-being. As the future unfolds, I look forward to documenting this journey as the focus of my next book under the elite Forbes Books brand, which will be published in late 2024," declared Mary.

In her new role as Chief Revenue Officer for PNI, Mary will oversee all aspects of revenue generation, including sales operations and strategy; channel development and management; product positioning and pricing; marketing programs; CRM systems optimization; national expansion initiatives; M&A activities; as well as identifying new opportunities for growth across multiple geographies.

With Mary's appointment comes an exciting new era for PNI as we look toward continued success over the next 25 years!
