Among its many noteworthy clients are Blackstone, Interpublic Group, PepsiCo, Kaplan, National Football League, JPMorgan Chase, Citadel, and Foot Locker.
鈥淚鈥檓 proud of the education I received at NYIT and am pleased to have an opportunity to join its board of trustees, to be a part of the institution鈥檚 continued success in preparing students for their future,鈥� Moudis noted.
Moudis has remained actively involved with his alma mater. Over the years, he has hired several NYIT alumni. In addition, he sits on the architecture advisory board and conducts seminars for students at his office each semester, where he shares career advice and other professional experiences.
He maintains many professional affiliations, including the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, New York Society of Architects, and International Facilities Managers Association. Additionally, he is involved in numerous charitable endeavors, including serving on the board of directors of the Ace Mentor Program of Greater New York, United Way of New York City, and the Friends of St. Dominic鈥檚 Home.
