Agustin D. Moreno is a founding member of Impel Environmental, LLC. Mr. Moreno has more than 16 years of field experience in the solid waste industry holding several managerial positions in the States of Puerto Rico, Texas, and most recently California with Fortune 500 industry leaders.

In July 2015, Mr. Moreno was a memorable speaker at the CNIC International Scientific Congress held in La Habana, Cuba.
