Meet the Arkayne Team
Recently, when asked how we all met each other, we realized we had all been drawn together due to one common interest: we are all entrepreneurs at heart who are determined to prove Arizona has all of the neccessary resources needed to produce a World-Class Technology Startup. Though more extensive bios are soon to come we would like to share with you some brief facts about each member of our team. Meet the Arkayne Team:
Nicholas Aretakis
CEO
Before joining Arkayne Nicholas managed Worldwide Sales and Marketing for three high technology employers, bringing the last two companies from $15M to over $300M in annual sales in three years and resulting in two highly successful IPO’s with GlobeSpan (DSL and Wireless modem), ESS Technology (PC Audio and Consumer Video). Nicholas started his career with MicroChip after obtaining a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University. Aretakis has written three books (No More Ramen, Ditching Mr. Wrong and Technology Selling) and sits on the Board of Directors for Arizona’s Technology Investor Forum (ATIF). Nicholas will have his chance to give back to young engineers and entrepreneurs in the Spring by teaching a Technical Sales course to engineering students and technology graduates at ASU.
Paul Kenjora
CTO
Paul is the original founder and mastermind behind Arkayne. After graduating from Arizona State University with a Bachelors Degree in Software Engineering Paul went on to be a Software Engineer at two Arizona based companies before joining the PayPal/Ebay team where he was awarded “Paypalian of the Year” for his outstanding work.
Adam Ayers
Marketing/Sales
Adam recently graduated in May of 2009 from Arizona State University with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering. He was the President and Founder of Entrepreneurs@ASU and sits on the Fulton School of Engineering Alumni Board. Adam was also a volunteer for Arizona Technology Investor Forum (ATIF) and the Economic Club of Phoenix at the W.P. Carey School of Business. His past experience includes over 3 years with Best Buy for Business and internships at Trane and Green Ideas (a local Green Building consultant specialized in LEED).
Tyler Metcalf
Marketing/Sales Intern
Tyler is a Junior at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University studying Management Entrepreneurship. He hails from Chicago, Illinois, and is the current President of Entrepreneurs@ASU. We’re not quite sure how he got the job here, but since we pay him in Hungarian Goulash, we’ve got a high ROI.
