eTradeWire -- Arkonyk, the payments intelligence company behind Descriptors.com, Whobilled.me, FeeSuite, and Arkitekt, today announced that Colt McCutcheon has joined the company as Chief Revenue Officer, effective August 5th. McCutcheon will lead Arkonyk's sales organization as the company grows its platform across acquiring banks, processors, ISOs, and enterprise merchants.

McCutcheon brings more than 15 years of enterprise sales leadership in fintech and payments. He joins Arkonyk from pay-by-bank fintech Spire, and previously held senior sales roles at Elavon, Signifyd, and CardinalCommerce (a Visa company). That background covers the same acquirer, issuer, and merchant relationships Arkonyk serves. He holds a degree from the University of Michigan.

"I've known and worked with Colt for more than 15 years, and I'm thrilled to have him join Arkonyk," said Rick Lynch, Founder and CEO of Arkonyk. "Colt has always believed that great sales start with great relationships, and that's why people trust him. His customer-first approach aligns perfectly with our mission and the culture we're building."

"Arkonyk is tackling a problem the payments industry has left unaddressed for too long: real transparency into cost, disputes, and reconciliation," said McCutcheon. "I am thrilled to be working with two of the industry's leading experts. I'm looking forward to bringing that to acquirers, ISOs, and merchants."
