About
Moses Acosta
SVP, Global Next-Gen Engineering Manager @ Citi
I've spent 30 years building infrastructure — from racking servers in datacenters to deploying GPU clusters for AI workloads at one of the world's largest banks. I don't theorize about technology. I build it, break it, and ship it.
Outside of Citi, I run MoeCloud Group (an AI-native managed services company with 5 autonomous AI agents), build investment tools at SimpliInvest, and co-founded the Blockchain AI Foundation to accelerate research at the AI/blockchain intersection.
I'm a proud Hispanic tech leader, inspired by Jensen Huang's engineering rigor, Steve Jobs' product obsession, and Charlie Munger's mental models. I'm raising two daughters — Lauren at Bucknell and Heather at Villanova — with the same builder mentality I bring to everything I do.

Certifications & Advisory
Mentorship & Values
I believe technology leadership is a craft that's best learned by building. I mentor emerging technologists — especially from underrepresented backgrounds — on career strategy, personal branding, and shipping products that matter. The same engineering-first mindset I bring to work, I bring to raising my daughters and building community.
