Aron Ain is a software technology executive, author, and thought leader in workforce management and human capital management.

He was named chief executive officer and a member of the Kronos Board of Directors, later leading the company through a transition from a public to a private entity. Under Ain's leadership, Kronos underwent a significant transformation, shifting from a licensed-software model to a cloud, software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.

With 50,000 organizations using its solutions in more than 115 countries, UKG is recognized as a leading provider of cloud-based HCM, payroll, HR service delivery, and workforce management solutions. Ain has received several awards for his leadership, including Glassdoor's Highest Rated CEO honor, Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year award, the Mass Technology Leadership Council's CEO of the Year award, and the Ray Stata Leadership and Innovation award from the Massachusetts High Technology Council.
Ain is the author of the book "WorkInspired: How to Build an Organization Where Everyone Loves to Work," which details how employee engagement can drive business strategy and leadership development for senior leaders, HR professionals, and people managers. The book received the Axiom Business Book Award Silver Medal in Leadership and was named a Soundview Best Business Book.
