When: Thursday, October 27, 14:00
Where: SICS, Knuth seminar room – directions to SICS
Abstract
Klarna is currently the fastest growing company in Sweden and market
leader in northern Europe, providing safe payment solutions to
e-commerce sites. Klarna started in 2005 with 3 founders. Now Klarna
has over 600 employees, all of them eager to make on-line shopping

Erik will present the challenges that the engineering department at
Klarna is facing right now, and especially the research areas that
Klarna is interested in.
In order to give some background Erik will talk about Klarna’s
business model, and the system that implements the business model. He
will also talk about how the system has grown with the company and the
challenges Klarna have faced when more than doubling the business each
year, before presenting the challenges they are facing today.

He received his Master of Science in Computer Science in 1996 from
