Lunar appoints Chief Product Officer

Mette joins Lunar after three years as Chief Product Officer at Pleo, where she played a central role in scaling the company’s product vision and commercial growth across Europe. Prior to that, she spent more than a decade as a Partner at McKinsey and Company, advising financial institutions and fintechs on large scale digital and agile transformations.

“Mette brings a rare combination of strategic clarity and hands-on execution. She has scaled product organisations in high-growth environments, driven commercial impact and knows how to build great products in complex, regulated financial settings. She also brings a clear passion for customer-centric design and for empowering product teams to move fast and build with precision. This is exactly the kind of leadership we need as we accelerate Lunar’s next phase of growth,” said Ken Villum Klausen, Founder and CEO of Lunar.

In her role, Mette will lead the next stage of Lunar’s product development across consumer, business and Moonrise, with a strong focus on delivering direct customer value and building out Lunar’s full banking proposition, including lending.

“Lunar has a genuine obsession with users, especially the small businesses that are so often underserved. What excites me is the opportunity to create direct customer value now, while building a banking proposition that truly reflects how people work and live. When risk, compliance and product work with the same goal, improving the customer experience, you can build better and faster. I am excited to help Lunar raise that bar and bring even more meaningful products to users across the Nordics,” said Mette Hindborg Gade.

Mette Hindborg Gade will join Lunar on 1 February 2026.
