Gelato, the Norwegian software company redefining global manufacturing through local production, has appointed Marc Zinnemers as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Zinnemers’ extensive experience in scaling high-growth SaaS companies positions him as a strategic leader in accelerating Gelato’s vision.

Marc Zinnemers joins Gelato with over 25 years of international financial leadership in software industries. Most recently, he served as CFO at LeanIX, where he played a critical role in scaling SaaS operations. Prior to LeanIX, Zinnemers held leadership roles at several high-growth technology companies, where he optimized financial frameworks, led cross-functional teams, and navigated both private equity and public markets.

“Marc’s track record of driving operational excellence in leading SaaS companies makes him a strong addition to Gelato,” said Henrik Müller-Hansen, Gelato Founder and CEO. “His leadership will be instrumental as we scale our software platform and solidify our position as the leading enabler of local production for global ecommerce.”

Zinnemers succeeds Jose I. Herrero, who has been integral to Gelato’s success over the past eight years. “We’re deeply grateful for Jose’s dedication, which has positioned Gelato for continued growth,” added Müller-Hansen.

“I am thrilled to join Gelato at this exciting stage of its journey,” said Zinnemers.  “The printing industry is at an inflection point. AI-powered software isn’t just making workflows more efficient—it’s redefining what’s possible. I look forward to leveraging my experience in SaaS and scaling organizations to help Gelato achieve its bold vision.”
