Jun Sochi

OCS’s newly appointed Chief Strategy Officer and Sub Region Managing Director for Asia Pacific and the Middle East grew up in New York, and has lived for the past 15 years in Asia – primarily in Singapore.

Over the past 35 years, Jun has held a number of leadership positions in companies that have been focused on creating the infrastructure to build, develop and maintain the facilities that support communities. Having initially studied architecture, he spent 17 years at Johnson Controls, a building automation company, and, more recently, spent over a decade in commercial real estate at Cushman & Wakefield, where he was Chief Operating Officer for Asia Pacific.

Harnessing that ability to bring people together to achieve a positive outcome for customers and communities has been a driving force throughout his career. It was this ability to help communities thrive that played a major role in attracting Jun to OCS, with our focus on making people and places the best they can be. Looking forward, Jun’s enthused by the challenge of building the OCS brand throughout Asia, and the impact the business can make.

On many weekends in Singapore, you’ll find Jun and his wife Jo volunteering in aged care facilities, hospices, mental health wards and with children who have autism – with their dog Topper, as part of a therapy dog organisation, Therapy Dogs Singapore.

When he’s back home in New York – to which he returns to spend time twice a year – Jun volunteers with a local nature conservation group, clearing trails in the woods or cleaning waterfront areas. As a keen sailor, he also volunteers his time to teach people how to sail. While living in New York City, he also volunteered on the board of a music school that builds an appreciation of music for preschool-aged children.
