Company Spotlight: Boost Payment Solutions
Enterprise finance has always been a contradiction. A/P wants to stretch cash. A/R wants it yesterday. Between them sits a maze of outdated systems and paper checks that somehow still exist in a $125T B2B market. That friction is what Boost Payment Solutions set out to eliminate, quietly, surgically, and now, unmistakably. Founded in 2009 by Dean M. Leavitt, a 30-year payments veteran, Boost was built on one bold idea: what if commercial cards could finally handle enterprise scale with security, automation, and data depth the Fortune 100 actually needs?
Leavitt didn’t come to build another fintech. He came to rewire the enterprise bloodstream. From US Data Capture to Cynergy Data, his record was all precision, find inefficiency, automate it, build trust through results. That ethos shaped Boost’s core: engineered for scale, obsessed with zero fraud, designed for global enterprises. Today, 64 of the Fortune 100 trust Boost to move money faster, safer, and smarter.
The leadership lineup blends Wall Street precision with startup drive. Illya Shell (COO) scales systems with surgical focus. Mariana Lamson (CFO), a Wharton MBA and CPA, brings fiscal command honed at Global Payments. Seth Goodman (CRO) drives growth built on Goldman Sachs and Citi experience. Rebecca Schultz (CMO), named one of American Banker’s Most Influential Women in Payments, gives the brand its voice. And Rinku Sharma (CTO), from Audible and RBC Capital Markets, is fueling Boost’s AI-driven evolution.
The tech stack isn’t marketing, it’s machinery. Boost Intercept® automates payments end-to-end with zero fraud losses. Dynamic Boost® lets buyers/suppliers set pricing rules in real time. Boost 100® and 100XB® extend card automation to 180+ countries. Payments as a Service opens Visa’s CEDP compliance to partners instantly.
8.8M transactions in 2024 (+148% YoY), $23B processed (+91%), single transaction record of $83M. Series C funding from Invictus Growth Partners, following Mosaik Partners and North Atlantic Capital. This isn’t vaporware, it’s velocity.
When Visa launched its Commercial Enhanced Data Program, Boost was already 99.96% compliant. When FIS modernized its Automated Finance suite, Boost Intercept became the engine. Behind the scenes of global commerce, Boost isn’t a vendor, it’s the wiring beneath the financial grid.
Now, they’re hiring across engineering, data, product, and BD. Builders who see inefficiency as opportunity. Because Boost isn’t just processing payments, it’s powering the next chapter of enterprise finance. The only question left is whether you’ll be part of it.
