Site Acquisition Manager

Moises Aceves

**********@*****.***

I am a seasoned Site Acquisition Manager with over 10 years of experience in guiding teams through the development of small cell networks, NSBs (Network Site Builds), generators, and related infrastructure across Northern California. My role focuses on training site acquisition professionals to forecast and manage these projects, ensuring compliance with local zoning, permitting, and California wireless Right-of-Way (ROW) policies, as well as GEO95 regulations. I have a strong track record of partnering with wireless carriers, contractors, and regulatory bodies to design, develop, and maintain broadband networks. This includes providing technical guidance, managing permitting processes, and finalizing build documents for wireless sites. I also lead teams in navigating regulatory requirements, helping them stay on track and meet project goals. Throughout my career, I have been responsible for developing training programs, setting priorities, and ensuring project quality and compliance. My expertise in both the technical and regulatory aspects of wireless infrastructure has allowed me to successfully drive projects from initial planning through to completion, while maintaining strong relationships with all stakeholders.
