Co-Creator & Chair,
Changemakers Youth Forum
Mr. Johnson dreams of a world where everyone is a designer of their own life. He considers himself to be a changemaker and change-enabler, and he is on an exciting mission to empower young people in a way that also unlocks their creative genius. To achieve this, he co-created the Changemakers Youth Forum and the GiLE Foundation in Hungary, and he also leads a design-driven incubation program for young (aspiring) entrepreneurs at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design.
Taking a step back, though, Mr. Johnson actually has an interdisciplinary background in education having formally studied accounting, ethics, international relations and diplomacy. He started his professional career as a Chartered Accountant in South Africa, and since went on to accumulate a wide range of (international) experience having worked in the private sector, public sector, and non-profit sectors, which now includes academia.
