Clean air and energy security to future generations – by solving the world’s waste problem

Jan has a wide network within and beyond the industrial and cleantech energy sector. During the last 20 years, he has been the driving force behind three companies successfully bringing game-changing technology to market.

Prior to Boson Jan was co-founder and COO of Mobotec Europe AB, a company specialised in air pollution control through advanced primary methods to reduce NOx/SOx and converting fossil power plants to biomass. Mobotec was acquired by Nalco.

Jan was majority owner, and his responsibilities included full responsibility for business model, business plan, budgets, all commercial activities, contracts, client relations, execution level project management of installation partners.

Prior to Mobotec, Jan co-founded and served as VP of Sales and Business Development for Altoptronic AB, a supplier of advanced tuneable diode laser process analysers, which was acquired by Siemens AG and renamed to Siemens Laser
Analytics AB.

In his role as VP of Sales and Business Development, Jan drove key aspects to take Altoptronic from a product/technology idea and specification for measuring interference gas molecules (ammonia, etc.) product/technology idea and specification, to a fully commercial company that was acquired by Siemens. When Jan joined Altoptronic in 1994, there were no installations, no products, no engineering, and no application definition. It took Jan and the management team four years to manage extensive quality problems, manage hardware and software, and commercialize the product.

Jan’s responsibilities at Altoptronic included full responsibility for business plan, application definition, commercial strategy, sales budgets, pricing, marketing, sales, contracts, after sales, exit process and negotiation. After Siemens’ acquisition, Jan continued to grow sales for Siemens Laser Analytics for three years in his role as VP of Sales with global responsibility. Jan then went on to co-found Mobotec Europe AB.

Jan has studies Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology and Psychology at University of Gothenburg.
