Klarna Group plc said on Monday that its Chief Financial Officer Niclas Neglén and Chief Marketing Officer David Sandström will transition out of their roles in early 2027.
Neglén, who has served as CFO for six years, will remain in place through the transition to lead finance operations and investor relations while assisting in the search for a New York-based successor. He will also continue as a board member. Sandström, CMO for nine years, will stay on to oversee marketing strategy and prepare the brand and team for the next phase of development.
Sebastian Siemiatkowski, Klarna’s co-founder and chief executive, said both executives "will leave Klarna a stronger company than the one they joined." The company stated that neither transition resulted from any disagreement over operations, policies or practices.
Klarna, a digital bank and flexible payments provider listed on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker KLAR, serves over 120 million active users globally. The company processes approximately 3.8 million transactions daily and partners with more than 1.2 million retailers.
