    Michael Moreno

    Deep Tech VC and Startups | Former CIA | UC Berkeley MBA | AWS Space Accelerator

    I have spent the last decade merging my passion for new and emerging technologies with my ability to connect with the human behind its usage. My curiosity has driven me toward new challenges across a variety of roles and industries that have diversified the way I understand and build with my clients.

    My experiences in sales and customer experience for hardware, software, and SaaS, along with my desire to learn and solution-oriented drive has helped me deliver for clients in innovative and impactful ways. I strive to use the knowledge acquired in the pursuit of high performance to help elevate others to similar heights, and have a track record of helping team members identify, pursue, and achieve career milestones and role advancements.

    I apply the same curiosity and drive that fuels my professional success with personal pursuits outside of work. In my down time you’ll often find me playing tennis or running, exercising my creative muscles in illustration and design, and pursuing my fascination with language. My ability to communicate with and understand different cultures helps me to bridge gaps when working with a globally diverse client base.
