MonoTouch is what you're referring to, and it has its pros and cons. Pros are, one app can be published on multiple platforms with little to no change.
Minuses, it's expensive and you have to wait for access to new features until they've been released by Xamarin.
Writing an app for iPhone using this is easily 2x faster than learning and then writing it in Objective C. It does generate a "native" app, for what it's worth.
Sounds like you just need to get past your dislike of C#, and your boss sounds like a pretty smart person ;-)
