I met José in preparation for Latin Talks and I could see that he embodied the aspirational success that so many Latinos seek when they immigrate to the States. His story is a powerful example of holding steady through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship in a new country.

José Ochoa is an award-winning Mexican-American entrepreneur, engineer and business innovation evangelist who started multi-million-dollar companies in the US and Mexico, among them Global Containers & Custom Packaging Inc., a logistics and packaging company, and Reikoku LLC a consulting company.

Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, José has an Engineering degree from Instituto Tecnológico de Chihuahua II, and worked as a Packaging Engineer for Delphi, where he immersed in operations and logistics for the packaging industry. He was a Global Packaging Engineer for Siemens, designing products and process efficiencies that he pivoted to his own venture: in 2008 José and a partner launched Global Containers and Custom Packaging de México SA de CV to fill an industry gap: integrated packaging and logistics services committed to providing a flawless customer experience.

José is a graduate of the Stanford University Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative and a member of its Latino Business Action Network, an alumnus of Singularity University’s leadership programs, is a native Spanish and English speaker, and an expert in US-Mexico startup and steady-state business consulting matters.
