“Commission management has become a major headache for enterprise finance teams. Instead of one structure for everyone on variable compensation plans, there are numerous structures in place depending on geography, team, industry – just to name a few of the complexities facing finance teams,” Bres said. “I am thrilled to be joining a company that is already the industry leader and look forward to helping our customers elevate incentive compensation as a strategy to accelerate revenue growth with a new class of software that takes the guesswork out of commissions for sales and finance organizations.”
