AllianceHCM, a leading privately held provider of payroll and human capital management solutions, has appointed Michael Haske to its Board of Directors.
Haske brings extensive experience in building and scaling high-growth SaaS and HCM organizations, with expertise in product strategy, AI-driven innovation, and enterprise operations.
Haske offers nearly three decades of leadership in SaaS and HCM, most notably during his 15-year tenure at Paylocity where he served as President and Chief Operating Officer. He contributed significantly to growing the company from early stages to over $1 billion in annual revenue and supported its successful IPO.
Most recently, Haske was Chief Executive Officer at Krista Software, specializing in AI agentics, orchestration, and intelligent automation.
AllianceHCM serves complex employers in hospitality, healthcare, and professional services through purpose-built technology and high-touch service, emphasizing strong client retention and a commitment to long-term customer relationships.
"Michael is a rare combination of product visionary and proven operator," said Alan Primeaux, Chief Executive Officer of AllianceHCM. "His experience applying AI and modern platform thinking to real-world customer problems aligns perfectly with where we are headed. Just as important, he understands how to scale responsibly without losing the culture, accountability, and customer focus that make Alliance special. We're excited to welcome him as a partner to our Executive Leadership team."
"I've long admired AllianceHCM's ability to pair sophisticated technology with a high-touch service model a combination that is increasingly rare in this space," said Haske. "The foundation here is incredibly strong. I am eager to work with Alan and the Executive Leadership Team to leverage my experience in SaaS scaling and intelligent automation to help AllianceHCM lead the next era of the HCM market."
This appointment enhances AllianceHCM's board as the company advances platform innovation, broadens its national presence, and invests in leadership to sustain disciplined growth and AI integration in human capital management solutions.
