Simon Sochas
he/him Senior Strategist
Simon is a designer who brings expertise in the fields of real estate development, community engagement, and programming to his work at Gehl. His focus is on co-creating just cities where people are actively granted equitable opportunities that leverage design, policy and governance to achieve better outcomes for local communities. As a member of Gehl’s Enterprise team, Simon was instrumental in securing and growing Gehl’s partnership with Curative. For the past three years he has led Gehl’s secondment to Google – designing and delivering public spaces and programs for local communities as part of Google’s new campus development projects globally. Prior to joining Gehl, Simon led community engagement efforts on social housing regeneration projects across London and supported the launch of an urban innovation agency in Paris, where he aligned private sector-led development visions with context-sensitive expectations and needs. In his spare time, Simon can be found on the blacktop shooting hoops or in the water catching waves.
