Romero is the founding principal of FR-EE/Fernando Romero Enterprise, a 60-person architecture firm located in Mexico City and New York. Romero's work balances the interests of public and private entities while translating contemporary moments and culture through research, design, technology and construction. He seeks to redefine the norms of society by collaborating with global leaders on future ideas and initiatives which architecture can give form to.

In 2002, Romero was named a "Global Leader of Tomorrow" at the World Economic Forum. He was recently made a fellow of the American Institute of Architects and is a member of the CAMSAM - Mexican Chamber of Architects. In 2004, Romero received a Bauhaus Award for young designers. For his contribution to architecture in Mexico, he has received a Mexican Society of Architect Award. In 2012, Romero launched a new book You Are The Context as an exploratory exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum. Most recently, FREE has been commissioned to design and is in the process of building more than 1 million m2 of projects, with works constructed in excess of 723,000 m2.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
