Background

About Johan Windahl

I'm a technology leader passionate about building simulation and optimization tools that empower engineers and create real business value. With over 15 years of experience across energy, automotive, and aerospace sectors, I specialize in transforming complex engineering challenges into scalable, user-centric software solutions. Currently, I lead the development of Modelon Impact, a cloud-native system simulation platform used by technical decision-makers worldwide. Under my leadership, we've delivered the industry's first truly native cloud simulation platform, a major contributor to Modelon’s ARR, exceeding 60 MSEK in 2024. I drive the product strategy across the full lifecycle: from roadmap and go-to-market planning to technical investment and customer success. I’ve held multiple roles at Modelon, from simulation engineer to product leader, contributing to innovations in dynamic optimization, energy systems modeling, and advanced simulation platforms. Whether defining REST APIs for cloud integrations, aligning cross-functional teams, or scaling R&D collaborations, I thrive at the intersection of engineering and product strategy. Let’s connect if you’re interested in digital transformation for complex systems, cloud-based simulation tools, or building high-impact product teams.
