Johnny FD

Johnny FD is a pioneering nomadpreneur best known as the original founder and host of the Nomad Summit – the flagship event he launched in 2015 in Chiang Mai and ran annually through 2020, before the COVID‑19 pandemic paused in-person gatherings. He created the Summit to bring together remote workers, digital entrepreneurs, and thought leaders from around the world. Through that initiative, Johnny has fostered a vibrant global nomad community and helped countless individuals build location-independent businesses.

Today, Johnny lives in Kyiv, Ukraine, where he shares his adventures, insights, and lifestyle through his popular YouTube channel, which has grown to around 250,000 subscribers. As a content creator, he continues to inspire others to embrace the nomad life – offering practical guidance on remote work, entrepreneurship, and personal freedom; all drawn from his own experiences traveling, building online ventures, and hosting one of the most influential nomad events in the world.

In 2024 he gave the brand in new hands of the team around Christoph Huebner. At the revival Nomad Summit in January 2025 in Chiang Mai Johnny officially handed over the torch and held his farewell keynote speach.
