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 operations platform for professional services firms, built around a fleet of six specialized AI agents. I architect and orchestrate the agents that run real business processes end-to-end. I also run SimpliInvest, an AI-assisted educational tool for first-time investors learning to evaluate risk before they invest, 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 bring the same builder mentality to everything I do — whether it's running production workloads at one of the world's largest financial institutions, designing autonomous agents that handle real customer-facing operations, or mentoring the next generation of technologists from underrepresented backgrounds.

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 building community and supporting the next generation of builders.
