Johan Frisell is a hands-on technology founder and system architect with 11 years of experience building digital platforms for the energy sector, now leading Fifty Energy after co-founding Helicon Technologies. He combines CEO-level strategy with active contribution to code and architecture, having delivered large VPPs, smart heating, metering and EMS solutions that integrate tens of thousands of devices and meaningfully reduce carbon footprint. Johan has scaled engineering organizations (tripling throughput during an interim CDO role at Ferroamp) and built both customer-facing products and internal automation tools that drive operational leverage. Comfortable across hardware-adjacent projects and cloud-native software, he translates complex technical constraints into pragmatic business outcomes while valuing mature, time-tested practices.
