Jack L. Johnson is a visionary entrepreneur and proven leader in energy storage, advanced manufacturing, and automotive/aerospace technologies. As CEO and co-founder of Jolt Energy Storage Technologies , he leads the company in advancing low-cost organic redox polymer energy storage solutions, having previously driven Series A fundraising to a $60M valuation, managed PhD research teams, and built partnerships with National Labs. Previously VP Global Business Development at Farasis Energy, he developed a U.S. supply chain strategy with a goal of repatriating advanced manufacturing lessons learned, led sales turnaround efforts, and advanced a IRA tranche II grant to final round for $150M in funding.
