Prior to that, he was vice president and general manager of the Engineered Insulation Systems (EIS) business; vice president and general manager of the Foam Insulation division; and general manager of the Latin America division.

Before Fifth Gear Media, Ochoa held a variety of leadership positions with Frito-Lay (part of the Pepsico Company), Procter & Gamble, and AT Kearney.
Ochoa earned a master of business administration degree from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business as well as a bachelor’s of business administration degree from the University of Texas.
