About Josh Ortiz

I believe the best HCM solutions don’t just fix payroll; they align a company\'s people strategy directly with its financial goals.For the past decade, I have partnered with mid-market Finance and HR leaders to build HR infrastructure that drives operational efficiency, mitigates risk, and scales with their growth. I don\'t just sell software; I help executive teams find the specific areas where they can save themselves and their teams hours every week that they didn\'t even know they were wasting.As a Sales Director at Paylocity, my focus is on building and developing elite, high-performing teams. I am incredibly proud to have led my teams to win as a group and for them to strive and hit their individual goals. Throughout my career (7x President\'s Club/Winner\'s Circle), my core philosophy has remained the same: success is a byproduct of hiring great people, building a winning culture and providing a support system and guardrails to allow them be successful.Whether I am helping an Account Executive navigate the nuances of a complex C-suite deal or managing the weekend pitching rotation for my son\'s 11U baseball team, my passion is developing talent, structuring a winning game plan, and executing it at a high level.
