Ricardo “Richie” Castiblanco-Moreno

As the Maestro of Inclusive Innovation, Ricardo “Richie” Castiblanco-Moreno brings the heart of an educator and a global lens to Vista Supports. Based physically in Bogotá, Colombia, Richie ensures that the organization’s perspective extends far beyond its U.S. headquarters, recognizing that the IDD and senior communities are part of a shared, global experience. Richie’s work is grounded in the belief that language can liberate or limit a culture. With a strong educational foundation from Universidad Libre, he helps ensure that Enabling Technology (ET), Assistive Technology (AT), and Remote Supports (RS) are accessible not only in availability, but in understanding. His approach challenges long-standing cultural narratives where care has long been equated with sacrifice, reframing technology as a tool for autonomy, dignity, and shared responsibility. By translating innovation both culturally and linguistically, Richie helps ensure that global communities are included in the audience and the opportunity. While Vista Supports operates within the U.S., his work reinforces that its vision for equity, education, and care knows no borders.
