Hank Boughner

Chief Executive Officer Dynamo Software

Last Reviewed: September 28, 2026

Executive Summary

Hank Boughner is Chief Executive Officer of Dynamo Software, which makes cloud software for the alternative investment industry: the private equity firms, venture capital funds, hedge funds, real estate managers and institutional allocators whose deal, investor-relations and reporting workflows do not fit general-purpose tools. He has led Dynamo since 2017. He came to the role from payments, having worked at Global Payments, and has described a career spanning engineering, investment banking and private equity investing.

Career Highlights

• Chief Executive Officer of Dynamo Software since 2017.
• Featured in FT Partners’ FinTech CEO Interview series in August 2023.
• Discussed the consolidation of investment-software verticals, and the case for platforms over point solutions, on the Investment Management Operations podcast in June 2024.
• Named as a representative of Global Payments in a September 2014 asset purchase agreement filed with the SEC.

Professional Journey

Before Dynamo, Boughner worked at Global Payments, the Atlanta-based payments company. An asset purchase agreement dated 30 September 2014, under which a Global Payments subsidiary bought a check and ACH warranty business serving licensed gaming operators, names him as one of the buyer’s representatives. Podcast material describing his background characterises his career as that of an engineer, investment banker and private equity investor.

He became Chief Executive Officer of Dynamo Software in 2017. Dynamo serves the alternatives market with software covering the front, middle and back office: investor relations and CRM, portfolio and deal management, research management and reporting. Under his leadership the company has promoted the argument that alternative asset managers will consolidate onto end-to-end platforms rather than stitch together single-purpose tools, a theme he took to FT Partners’ CEO interview series in 2023 and to the Investment Management Operations podcast in 2024.
