Juan Fermín Rodríguez: Competition has surrounded Juan Rodriguez throughout his life. Working in the corporate world, Juan wanted to align his work with his moral principles by solving a big problem he witnessed in Guatemala. And fortunately, Juan’s family supported him along the way. He attributes these factors to his ability to take risks in order to change things. He’s inspired to help make the world a better place.
