Jörg Vocke, Siemens Real Estate
Jörg Vocke,
who holds a degree in law, is succeeding Zsolt Sluitner (65). Sluitner took on
leadership of the SRE business in 2006 after holding various management
positions at Siemens and is now retiring.
“I am very
pleased that, with Jörg Vocke, we are bringing an experienced Siemens expert on
board as the new CEO of Siemens Real Estate,” said Ralf P. Thomas. “On behalf
of the entire Managing Board, I would like to thank Zsolt Sluitner for his many
years of commitment to the company. Zsolt has successfully turned SRE into a
globally recognized corporate real estate manager that is now playing a key
role in shaping Siemens’ business and objectives – including the company’s goals
of achieving climate neutrality and of transforming our office and production locations.”
Zsolt
Sluitner became head of SRE in 2006 after holding various positions at Siemens,
including a role as head of the company’s real estate business in Asia. Under
his leadership, SRE has developed into one of the world’s leading corporate
real estate companies. Major projects included the Siemens headquarters in
Munich, Germany, the headquarters of Siemens’ Smart Infrastructure business in
Zug, Switzerland, Siemens Campus Erlangen, Germany, and Siemensstadt Square in
Berlin, Germany. In addition, he has made SRE a pioneer in areas such as
digitalization in the real estate sector; new working environments; environment,
social and governance management; and sustainability. Back in 2013, Sluitner was
recognized for SRE by the German real estate portal ImmobilienManager, which
honored him with the ImmobilienManager Award in the category “Management.”
“I’m very
happy to hand over leadership of the SRE business to Jörg Vocke,” said Sluitner.
“With his 20 years of experience at Siemens, he knows every facet of the
company. In addition, as a proven digitalization specialist, he also has the
necessary digital expertise, which is becoming increasingly important for our
industry, too. And finally, I value his leadership qualities, which I got to
know and came to appreciate during our time together at SRE.”
Jörg Vocke
joined Siemens in 1999 and began his career in SRE’s legal department, which he
became head of in 2003. In 2013, Vocke moved to Siemens Corporate Technology as
head of its legal department. Since 2019, he has been head of the legal
department of Siemens’ Digital Industries business. Vocke was a member of SRE’s
management team during his tenure as head of the SRE legal department. During that
time, he gained valuable experience in corporate real estate.
“SRE is a
corporate real estate company that supports Siemens’ strategy and goals
worldwide. These responsibilities include helping the company achieve its aim
of becoming carbon neutral and providing support in making investments totaling
€2 billion in existing and new production locations – like the investments
currently being made in Erlangen, Germany, as well as in Singapore, China and
the U.S. In this way, SRE is making important contributions to the future
success of Siemens. These are demanding challenges that I’m very much looking
forward to,” said Jörg Vocke.
