Mr. Moreno brings 15 years experience to his role in geospatial sensor operations, ground control, flight planning, and logistics in LATAM.

My involvement with Mr. Moreno began in 2010 in Colombia, S. A. through logistical support, but under our guidance, he quickly became engaged in professional meetings and technical operations. His involvement was instrumental. — from ground control work to serving as an onboard LiDAR operator technician. Mr. Moreno transitioned into a consulting role for Latin America, where he has continued to work as a LiDAR technician and sensor operator.

From 2010 to 2014, we collaborated on numerous projects involving the analysis and application of LiDAR technologies across multiple cities in Central and South America.

Beyond Mr. Moreno’s technical and business acumen, he demonstrates exceptional leadership in managing multicultural projects and cultivating strong relationships in the mining, oil, and industrial sectors.
