Founder | Geospatial & Climate Intelligence Advisory

Moises Salgado

Executive advisory for organizations that need geospatial and climate intelligence converted into strategic action.

About

I build geospatial intelligence systems that translate land, climate, and satellite data into strategic decision-making tools.

With a background in agronomy and 10+ years leading technology, product, and R&D, I work at the intersection of environmental science, spatial systems, and climate strategy across private sector, public institutions, and impact organizations.
