Co-founder & Principal Advisor
Fredrik Filipsson is co-founder and a principal advisor at Workplace Spend Experts. He brings 20 years in enterprise software and workplace tools, spanning licensing, renewals and cost optimization across large agreements. He has priced and negotiated these contracts from the inside, and now puts that knowledge to work for the buyer alone.
Before co-founding Workplace Spend Experts, Fredrik spent years on the selling side of enterprise agreements, which is exactly why his advice starts where vendor pitch decks stop: the true-up mechanics, the bundling pressure, and the renewal clauses that quietly move money. His work at the firm centres on Microsoft 365 estates, from E5-to-E3 right-sizing to Copilot purchase decisions.
His focus is vendor negotiation, Microsoft 365 and the enterprise agreements where most spend, and most leverage, sits.
