Summary
Jan Forslow is a senior solutions architect and product leader with 10+ years focused on IoT and smart grid systems, blending an original MSc in Electrical Engineering with a UC Berkeley Master of Data Science to drive AI-infused cellular SmartGrid solutions. He has led end-to-end product portfolios—from hardware sensors and cellular comms to cloud analytics and UX—at companies like Itron and Arable, with deployments spanning millions of meters and presence in 30+ countries. Jan is an experienced forum delegate and standards contributor (3GPP, UBBA, Wi-SUN, OMA), holds 12 approved patents, and routinely translates utility use cases into carrier and standards requirements. Equally comfortable in technical program leadership and market strategy, he combines deep domain knowledge in V2V, agricultural sensing, and lone-worker safety with hands-on data science tooling (Python, R, Spark) to uncover practical business value. An understated strength is his track record of shepherding hardware-enabled subscription services from prototype to globally scaled commercial offerings.
