Strada Strengthens Executive Leadership to Drive Global Expansion and Innovation
In a strategic move to bolster its leadership team and accelerate global growth, Strada—a leader in simplifying international workforce management through people, payroll, and technology solutions—has announced the appointment of Matt Bolson as its new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). With over 28 years of experience in the Human Capital Management (HCM) space, Bolson brings a wealth of expertise in global payroll, workforce management, and customer-centric services. His proven track record of building high-performing teams, fostering trusted partnerships, and driving sustained growth aligns seamlessly with Strada’s mission to anticipate and meet the evolving needs of its customers.
As CRO, Bolson will lead Strada’s global go-to-market organization, overseeing Sales, Solutioning, Commercial Strategy, and Marketing. His appointment reinforces Strada’s Executive Leadership Team, adding a sharp commercial focus and uniting revenue-driving functions under a cohesive strategy designed to deliver measurable value for customers worldwide. This move underscores Strada’s commitment to scaling its operations while maintaining its reputation for excellence in customer service and innovation.
A Catalyst for Growth and Transformation
Bolson’s arrival marks a pivotal moment in Strada’s journey as the company continues to execute its vision of transforming payroll from an administrative necessity into a strategic enabler of organizational success—moving businesses “from pay to possibility.” In his role, Bolson will play a central part in accelerating Strada’s next phase of growth by leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and driving innovation across the organization. These efforts are expected to pave the way for transformative developments that will redefine how companies approach workforce management on a global scale.
“Matt’s appointment is a significant milestone in Strada’s evolution,” said Colin Brennan, Chief Executive Officer at Strada. “He brings a rare combination of operational discipline, commercial acumen, and a deep understanding of customer needs. As we continue to expand our footprint globally, Matt’s leadership will strengthen our senior team, enhance our commercial focus, and enable us to deliver even greater impact for our customers.”
Bolson’s extensive experience in the HCM arena positions him perfectly to guide Strada through its next chapter of growth. Having spent decades working with multinational organizations, he understands the complexities of managing diverse workforces across borders and industries. His expertise in scaling businesses and driving innovation will be instrumental in helping Strada stay ahead of industry trends and deliver solutions that address the unique challenges faced by modern enterprises.
Turning Payroll into a Strategic Advantage
One of Strada’s core ambitions is to redefine the role of payroll within organizations. Traditionally viewed as a back-office function, payroll has the potential to become a powerful tool for driving business outcomes when paired with advanced technologies and strategic insights. Bolson shares this vision and is eager to contribute to Strada’s mission.
“Strada is redefining payroll by turning it from an administrative necessity into a strategic driver of possibility,” said Matt Bolson, Chief Revenue Officer at Strada. “I’m thrilled to join such a talented team at this defining moment in the company’s journey. Together, we will accelerate innovation, maintain disciplined execution, and deepen our focus on delivering exceptional value to customers. This foundation will fuel Strada’s continued growth and solidify its position as a leader in the global workforce management space.”
Strengthening the Executive Leadership Team
The addition of Bolson to Strada’s Executive Leadership Team comes at a critical time as the company seeks to expand its reach and influence in key markets around the world. By uniting revenue-driving teams under a shared strategy, Bolson will ensure that every aspect of Strada’s go-to-market approach is aligned with the company’s overarching goals. This includes enhancing customer engagement, optimizing sales processes, and developing innovative marketing strategies that resonate with target audiences.
Moreover, Bolson’s emphasis on leveraging AI and other emerging technologies will help Strada stay at the forefront of industry innovation. As organizations increasingly look for ways to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve employee experiences, Strada’s ability to offer forward-thinking solutions will set it apart from competitors. Bolson’s leadership will ensure that these solutions not only meet current demands but also anticipate future needs, positioning Strada as a trusted partner for businesses navigating the complexities of global workforce management.
