Ricardo Mora

Ricardo Mora is a third-generation serial entrepreneur with a successful track record in retail real estate, telecommunications, and restaurants. He is an expert at retail site selection, international sales, business development, product sourcing, and contract negotiations. In 2018, he was named one of America's Quarterly Top 5 Urban Visionaries.

Mora's pride and joy project is Technology Hub Ciudad Juarez, a first-of-its-kind tech transfer enterprise incubator in his hometown of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Tech Hub is leveraging the talent and entrepreneurial drive of local IT engineers and researchers and marrying it to the growing demands of the IT sector in Mexico, Texas, and beyond. It is a beacon of hope, a source of pride, wealth, and jobs for his beloved city. Technology Hub organizes a free entrepreneurship and innovation conference for students.

Mora is the CEO of RM International. RMI is a diversified services company with subsidiaries in the telecommunication, cellular, and food service industries.

In his business career, Mora has had to wear many hats—from delivery driver to salesperson, marketer to collections agent, and construction manager to chief strategist.

His various ventures straddle the U.S. and Mexican markets, which gives him a uniquely informed perspective on border politics. Business is better for everyone, he's found over the years when companies and people on both sides of the border work together.
