Veteran payments and fintech leader joins onPhase to accelerate payment capabilities, customer value, and partner growth 

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — onPhase, an integrated finance and operations platform, today announced the appointment of Boyce Adams as Chief Payments Officer. In this role, Adams will lead onPhase’s payments vision, strategy, and execution to strengthen the payments roadmap, expand platform capabilities, and deliver greater value to the customers who rely on onPhase to automate their invoice and payment operations. Adams will report to the Chief Executive Officer, Robert Michlewicz.

The appointment comes as payments takes on an increasingly central role in the onPhase platform, connecting directly to the value onPhase delivers for customers, the strength of its partner ecosystem, and its ability to scale. Adams’ primary focus is expanding what customers can do with onPhase payments and ensuring that every payment moving through the platform carries the same visibility and control they expect across the rest of their financial operations. 

Adams brings more than 20 years of experience in payments, fintech, and B2B software. As President and Chief Executive Officer of BankTEL, he scaled the company to serve more than 2,000 financial institutions with accounting and compliance automation software. He later selected AvidXchange as BankTEL’s strategic partner and led the company through its acquisition in 2019. Adams then joined AvidXchange’s executive team as Senior Vice President, serving through the company’s 2021 initial public offering and as executive sponsor of its strategic relationship with Mastercard. Most recently, Adams has served as a Senior Operating Advisor at Aquiline Capital Partners, holding board and advisory roles across its fintech and payments portfolio, including the onPhase Board of Directors. Adams will step down from his advisory and board roles as he moves into this new executive position.

“I have seen from the boardroom what this platform can do. Now I get to build on it,” said Adams. “Finance teams are under real pressure to move money quickly while keeping control of every dollar that leaves the business. onPhase connects every payment to the invoice, approval, and documentation behind it. Payments is the next chapter of the onPhase story. We have the platform and the customers. Now it’s about building the partnerships that take payments further.” 

As finance teams consolidate onto fewer systems, a connected approach to the full invoice-to-payment lifecycle has become central to how they manage cash and risk. onPhase supports ACH, virtual card, check, and cross-border payments to more than 100 countries, and gives suppliers self-service visibility into payment status while maintaining Nacha compliance across its payment operations. Under Adams’ leadership, onPhase will continue to expand those capabilities and deepen the partner integrations that extend them to customers. 

“Boyce brings deep payments expertise and strong market perspective to a part of our platform that connects directly to the value we deliver for customers and the strength of our partner ecosystem,” said Robert Michlewicz, Chief Executive Officer of onPhase. “He has built and scaled payments and financial software businesses, and he leads with the kind of execution focus that turns opportunity into measurable progress for the teams we serve. His leadership will be instrumental as we strengthen our payments roadmap, expand platform capabilities, and continue delivering more value to the customers who count on us.” 

Adams joins an executive team onPhase has built out over the past year, including Chief Product Officer Sudarshan Ranganath, Chief Customer Officer Heather Peterson, and Chief Financial Officer Kathryn Eskandarian. The executive additions reflect the company’s continued investment in the people and capabilities required to support customers as onPhase continues to scale.
