IXOPAY appointed tech veteran Ajoy Krishnamoorthy as CEO on August 25, 2026, positioning the platform—which processed $171 billion in 2025—to lead AI-driven commerce payments [1][2][3]. Krishnamoorthy takes the helm to guide IXOPAY’s strategic growth, focusing on advancing its unified, AI-native payments infrastructure designed for the emerging agentic commerce landscape [1][3]. This leadership change marks a pivotal moment for the company as it transitions from interim CEO Nord Samuelson, aiming to accelerate growth in a rapidly evolving financial technology sector [1][3]. Krishnamoorthy brings more than two decades of enterprise software leadership and extensive product engineering experience to the role, having previously served as CEO and Chief Product Officer at Cin7 [2][3]. His background includes a decade in leadership roles at Microsoft and a tenure as Chief Strategy Officer and EVP of Product at Acumatica, where he focused on scaling cloud ERP platforms [1][3].
Strategic Focus on Agentic Commerce and AI Integration
The appointment aligns with IXOPAY’s strategy to support agentic commerce, where AI agents increasingly participate in e-commerce transactions [1][3]. Vik Verma, chairman of IXOPAY’s board of directors, noted that payments are changing as consumer behavior shifts and fraud evolves in real time [1][3]. The company aims to unite orchestration, intelligence, and tokenization in an AI-powered platform that gives enterprises control and visibility [1][3]. Krishnamoorthy emphasized that legacy infrastructure is holding merchants back, stating that winners will move faster and adapt instantly [1][3]. IXOPAY is investing to provide merchants with a preeminent agentic payments platform, extending the customer-obsessed innovation that brands already rely on to power global payments [1][3]. The platform includes IXONav, an AI-driven tool designed to assist with payment intelligence [3].
Platform Scale and Enterprise Ecosystem
During 2025, IXOPAY orchestrated $171 billion in payment volume and secured over 2.1 billion tokens [1][3]. The infrastructure supports 1.6 million merchants across an ecosystem of more than 500 payment adapters [1][3]. Current enterprise clients include major names such as AerLingus, Cleverbridge, Delivery Hero, DHL Express, Grover, Kiwi.com, and Volkswagen [1][3]. The platform operates as a vendor-neutral payment infrastructure provider, connecting merchants to over 200 payment service providers and 300 payment methods [3]. This scale provides a robust foundation for Krishnamoorthy’s plans to transition IXOPAY’s modular product suite to support global payment operations in the agentic era [3].
