InterProse Taps Fintech Vets for Board to Fuel AI-Powered Growth

VANCOUVER, Wash. – April 29, 2026 – InterProse, a provider of cloud-native software for the accounts receivable management (ARM) industry, today announced the strategic appointments of fintech veterans Ron Totaro and Ray Peloso to its Board of Directors. The move fortifies the company's leadership team as it prepares to aggressively scale its web-based debt recovery platform, ACE, following a significant growth investment from Wingman Growth Partners earlier this year.

The appointments signal a clear intent by InterProse to accelerate its challenge against legacy systems in the rapidly evolving ARM market. With fresh capital and seasoned leadership, the company is positioning itself to capture a larger share of an industry increasingly reliant on digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and stringent compliance.

A Confluence of Capital and Expertise

The arrival of Totaro and Peloso is the latest in a series of strategic maneuvers designed to propel InterProse into its next growth phase. The foundation for this expansion was laid by the recent investment from Wingman Growth Partners, a private equity firm specializing in growth-stage B2B software and fintech companies. The infusion of capital is earmarked for accelerating go-to-market strategies, expanding product capabilities, and fast-tracking the development of InterProse’s RAINMAKER AI platform.

This strategic backing comes at a pivotal moment for the ARM industry. The accounts receivable automation market, valued at $3.44 billion in 2025, is projected to surge to $6.66 billion by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 11.64%. This growth is driven by a widespread shift away from outdated, on-premise systems towards agile, cloud-native solutions that offer superior efficiency, scalability, and compliance. InterProse, with its modern architecture, is aiming to be a primary beneficiary of this market-wide upgrade cycle.

By adding Totaro and Peloso, InterProse is not just adding names to its board; it is acquiring decades of targeted experience in navigating the very challenges and opportunities it now faces. The combination of Wingman's financial backing and the new directors' operational and strategic expertise creates a powerful force for scaling the company's operations and technology.

Fintech Veterans to Steer Modernization

The new board members bring a wealth of experience directly relevant to InterProse's mission. Ron Totaro is a seasoned executive with over three decades of leadership in fintech, software, and payments, having held senior roles at industry giants like ACI Worldwide, Pitney Bowes, and FICO. His track record includes serving as CEO for Tassat Group and Partsearch Technologies, where he specialized in accelerating growth within complex, regulated environments.

"Ron has a strong combination of operating discipline, payments expertise, and growth-stage leadership," said Kyle Nelson, CEO and President of InterProse. "As InterProse expands the reach of ACE, his perspective will be invaluable to our team, our customers, and our long-term strategy."

Ray Peloso brings more than 25 years of executive leadership in lending, collections technology, and software transformation. As the current President of MBSi Corp. and former President and CEO of Katabat, Peloso successfully led the latter through a period of significant product modernization and growth, culminating in a strategic sale in 2021. His deep knowledge of consumer lending and collections technology provides a direct line of sight into the needs of InterProse's core clientele.

"Ray brings a deep combination of consumer-lending expertise, operational leadership, and software experience," Nelson commented. "His perspective will support our continued focus on advancing the ACE platform, expanding RAINMAKER AI capabilities, and executing on our growth strategy alongside Wingman Growth Partners."

Redefining Recovery with AI and Cloud Technology

At the heart of InterProse's strategy is its flagship platform, ACE, a fully web-based, cloud-native solution designed to modernize debt recovery for agencies, creditors, and government entities. The platform distinguishes itself from legacy competitors through its modern architecture, which allows for continuous updates, robust security attestations (including SOC 2, PCI DSS, and HIPAA), and extensive automation capabilities.

ACE is designed to streamline the entire collections lifecycle, from account management and custom payment plans to process automation and digital communications. A key component is its consumer self-service portal, the Virtual Agent Collector, which enables 24/7 engagement and payments, improving recovery rates while enhancing the consumer experience.

A significant differentiator for the platform is the integrated RAINMAKER AI, a Large Language Model (LLM) tool provided to all ACE users. This conversational AI assistant interacts with consumers in real-time, understands queries, retrieves account details, and can even detect consumer intent to trigger workflows for disputes or escalations. For back-office operations, RAINMAKER AI automates tasks like conversation summaries and PII scrubbing, freeing up human agents to focus on more complex interactions.

In a competitive landscape that includes established players like HighRadius and Billtrust, InterProse's focus on a highly configurable, AI-native, and compliance-centric platform is its core value proposition. The appointments of Totaro and Peloso are expected to sharpen this technological edge.

"Scaling technology businesses in regulated industries takes the right platform, the right people, and the right backing," Totaro stated. "InterProse has all three, and with Wingman Growth Partners' investment, the timing couldn't be better. I'm looking forward to putting my experience to work alongside the team as they grow ACE and expand their footprint in the market."

Peloso echoed this optimism, highlighting the company's readiness for expansion. "I'm excited to join the InterProse board, which has best-in-breed products and is poised for breakout growth with backing from Wingman Growth Partners," he said. "I look forward to working with the team and its partners to support product innovation, strengthen compliance outcomes, and drive long-term growth."
