Johan Falk is an entrepreneur and strategist working at the intersection of exponential innovation, industrial transformation and climate action. He works with business leaders and organisations at the forefront of transformation to turn exponential technologies and climate action into competitiveness, growth and systemic impact.
Falk is Co-founder and CEO of the Exponential Roadmap Initiative, which brings together companies, scientists and partners to halve emissions, scale climate solutions and accelerate the transition to an Earth-aligned economy within planetary boundaries.
His current focus is the Exponential Race to the Top: accelerating the adoption of solutions, shifting transition curves, and helping companies, sectors and countries reach tipping points faster and lead in the emerging Earth-aligned economy.
Falk is co-lead author of the Exponential Roadmap and lead author of The Exponential Business Playbook. He was one of the initiators of the Global Carbon Law concept with Owen Gaffney and Johan Rockström, applying the logic of Moore’s Law to climate action. He is a former Senior Innovation Fellow at the Stockholm Resilience Centre and Future Earth, a co-founder of the SME Climate Hub, and an initiator of 1.5°C Supply Chain Leaders.
Before focusing on climate transformation, Falk spent 12 years at Intel, where he led the Intel IoT Ignition Lab and the Edge Cloud Game Changer programme for 4G and 5G networks. He received Intel’s 2010 Global Design Win of the Year for work that helped establish and scale Intel architecture across global telecom networks.
Earlier, at Ericsson, Falk led product management and helped establish and scale the company’s real-time charging and prepaid business. He holds several patents in mobile communications.
Falk studied industrial engineering at Chalmers University of Technology and economics at the Stockholm School of Economics.
