Klarna’s UK head, Alex Marsh, has announced that he is stepping down from the Swedish buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) company.
Marsh resigns from his position after four and a half years of service.
Marsh joined Klarna as the chief financial officer in 2019 and co-founded non-profit organisation Chaterpath in January 2020.
Marsh expressed gratitude to Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski and Klarna UK CFO Niclas Neglan in a LinkedIn statement.
He said: “I can honestly say this time at Klarna has been nothing short of phenomenal. On a personal note the past year has brought home that life is short, with the sudden and devastating loss of my wife’s wonderful sister Catherine. Amongst all the sadness this experience has underlined the importance of prioritising what matters most – our family and loved ones. With mixed emotions it’s time now for the next chapter.
“So thank you to Sebastian Siemiatkowski and Niclas Neglen for so many opportunities and farewell to all the amazing colleagues and friends at Klarna – it’s been a genuine pleasure working within and alongside such passionate, innovative and dynamic teams – and I wish you all the very best as Klarna will no doubt continue to trailblaze in the world of payments, shopping and banking.”
A Klarna spokesperson added: “After four and a half years in a variety of roles at Klarna, Alex has chosen to move on. We are extremely grateful for all that Alex achieved during his time with us and are excited to follow his future journey.”
