Strategy Director, Mobility Data
Carl Fredlund is a product and strategy leader in mobility tech, currently Strategic Director at MobilityData in New York with eight years of experience helping transit and shared mobility providers make services easier to find and use. He combines product leadership with open-data stewardship, helping shape GTFS and GBFS specifications that underpin modern trip planners and shared-mobility integrations. At Busbud he led international product initiatives—from API and backend overhauls to a global payments and fraud stack processing around $100M annually—and built an inventory playbook that tripled supply. Trained in urban planning and with a history of grassroots transit advocacy (helping secure open GTFS data and a public trip planner), he blends policy, community organizing and technical execution, with experience working in German-language academic settings.
