Our Practice Areas

  • When Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine in 2022, Forward Horizon Group (FHG) co-founder Kelly Crawford knew he had to find a way to help. Recently separated from the US Navy, Kelly took his knowledge of large-scale operations and management directly to the Poland-Ukraine border. He spent months delivering humanitarian relief across the border before jumpstarting the construction of a regional medical clinic in Nahachiv, Ukraine.

    Months later, back in the United States, on the bottom floor of a pub in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Kelly shared his experience with a small group of military veterans and graduate students focused on policy, international affairs, technology, and security. Brought together by their shared desire to utilize fair business practices and leverage emerging technology to support resilient, democratic, and equitable societies, the Forward Horizon Group was formed that night.

  • FHG operates in Taiwan, drawing from democratic resilience lessons learned in Ukraine, to enhance Taiwan's capabilities in facing geopolitical challenges. Through strategic consulting and intelligence, FHG supports Taiwan's defense and security, fostering resilience against threats to democracy and sovereignty. This commitment underscores FHG's dedication to upholding democratic values and stability in regions facing significant geopolitical pressures.
