The co-founder of Klarna about how he has turned a local under-dog into an international scale-up threatening traditional banks

Today Bits & Pretzels Editor-in-Chief Britta Weddeling talks to Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski who has created a revolution in online shopping as well as Europe's most valuable fintech with 85 million customers, 205 000 online merchants in 17 countries and 2700 employees. And now the Klarna co-founder is out to beat Amazon with a new shopping tool that he announces exclusively in our podcast and that aims to offer brands and their customers the same level of convenience and benefits that exist on a platform like Amazon. In our conversation Sebastian talks about why he's not afraid of the big technology giants as well as about how Klarna rose from being a local under-dog to an international scale-up threatening traditional banks with its 'buy now, pay later' promise. And – like always – our guest shares what other entrepreneurs can learn from his way up to the top of the fintech world and his thoughts about his responsibilities as a leader in tech.
