Clinkle Hires Former Netflix Execs

Mobile payments platform Clinke has added two former Netflix executives as it looks to make the transition from stealthy startup to major payments player, TechCrunch reported on December 4.

Clinkle tapped former Netflix exec Barry McCarthy as its chief operation officer this past October, and the two new arrivals – Allison Hopkins and Andy Rendich – are former colleagues of his. Hopkins will serve as vice president of talent and Rendich will serve as vice president of operations.

The hirings highlight Clinke’s push to expand its mobile payments business prior ot its launch. In October, Clinke announced $500,000 in new debt funding. To learn more about Clinkle’s potential to reshape the payments space, read PYMNTS contributor Dan Rosen’s analysis of the company here.
