Co-founder of Klarna, Niklas Adalberth, joins Board of Directors at Einride

Niklas Adalberth, Co-founder of Klarna and Founder of Norrsken Foundation, was voted in on June 22 to join the Board of Directors at freight tech company Einride. 

Norrsken Foundation is one of the early investors in Einride, playing an important part in both Series A and Series B. Niklas Adalberth will be replacing Christian Lagerling, Co-founder of GP Bullhound, who’s stepping down from his seat at the board after over three years. The board assignment is Niklas’ first outside of Norrsken initiatives. 

“We’ve supported Einride’s mission since day one and I’m incredibly excited to deepen our collaboration as Einride fights to transform road freight as we know it, making it more cost-efficient, safe, and sustainable. Einride isn’t simply updating old transport to fit a new purpose, but re-thinking what the future of freight will look like,” says Niklas Adalberth. 

“With Niklas’ passion for sustainability and extensive knowledge of how to quickly scale a business globally, he’ll play a key role as we continue to capitalize on our strong momentum. We’re incredibly grateful for Christian’s invaluable support the last three years and will keep in close contact with him,” says Robert Falck, CEO of Einride.
