Speaker

Johan Nilerud is Co-founder and CEO of Landfall Infrastructure, a company that takes land to the point where it is powered, permitted and ready for data centre operators to build on. Landfall works with partners who bring land and energy assets, and adds the permitting, engineering and operator origination that turns them into usable sites.

Until mid-2026 Johan was Chief Strategy Officer at Khazna Data Centers, a member of the C-suite reporting to the CEO.

Earlier, he co-founded the pan-regional connectivity venture Arc Solutions and helped build datamena into the Middle East's largest ICT hub. Johan has more than 18 years in telecoms and data centres and holds an MSc in International Economics.
