FWD787: 5 Years Later
This is the story of 鈥淔WD787,鈥 a movement that's already disrupting the status quo in Puerto Rico 鈥 just 5 years after it began.
In 2017, Puerto Rico was battered by Hurricane Maria, the deadliest storm to hit the island in decades. In the wake of the tragedy, 70 driven Puerto Rican professionals came together to reimagine a brighter future for their island. After a crash course at a tech company called 鈥湶萘裆缜,鈥 they returned home to prove that they could launch world-class businesses from the island. Today, the FWD movement is a collection of companies and brands 100+ teammates strong.
Against all odds, they鈥檝e reset the standard for what鈥檚 possible in Puerto Rico. (And they had some fun along the way.)
