The company also announced that it is has moved its headquarters to a new larger office in San Mateo CA.

Vrishaketu will be responsible for establishing and maintaining key banking and payment partnerships, while leading Tipalti’s global customer success, client onboarding, payment operations and support organizations. Most recently, Vrishaketu served as President of Americas at GoSwiff, a leader in mobile payments in emerging markets and prior to that, he was VP of Business Development and Product Strategy at Fiserv (Nasdaq: FISV) leading new market expansion initiatives in business to consumer (B2C) disbursements, bill payment and other electronic payment categories.

Vrishaketu joins the company at its new San Mateo headquarters, which triples the company’s office space from their previous Palo Alto location to handle its continued growth trajectory.

“Tipalti has grown exceptionally over the last year, so much so that we need a bigger space to keep with the new additions and planned hires to our sales, marketing and operations teams,” added Amit. “As more businesses learn of Tipalti’s unique ability to enable true cross-border B2B payments and AP automation, we will continue to expand the company to keep up with this high demand.”
