MassPay, the global leader in payout orchestration, has announced a major leadership transition as co-founder Ran Grushkowsky prepares to take over as Chief Executive Officer on January 1, 2026. The move marks a new phase of accelerated growth for the company, which has rapidly become the dominant force in instant, fully compliant global payouts. Outgoing CEO and co-founder Jeffrey Katz, who led MassPay for six years and oversaw its dramatic rise, will remain on the board to provide strategic guidance as the company continues scaling its platform.
