Schoute joined from Booking.com, where he led payments product development for the past two years, but first got to know Mollie during his time leading global partnerships for Klarna.

Schoute joined Klarna as a summer intern in 2010, when the company was five years old, employed roughly 120 people and was in the early stages of its international expansion. During his 8.5 years with Klarna, Schoute predominantly focused on payment product development, becoming Director of Core Payments in 2015, then VP Product Payments in 2016. Taking over Klarna’s global partnerships organisation in 2017, Schoute left in January 2019, having helped the company scale to more than US $29bn in gross merchandise volume and US $627 million in operating revenue.
