Rob Rain has joined OTO Development as CEO, where he will oversee strategic initiatives designed to drive growth across the company’s portfolio.
Rain is carrying on the legacy of OTO’s former CEOs: the late Corry Oakes, who led the company for its first 18 years, and Todd Turner, who recently retired.
“Rob understands OTO’s culture, and we are excited about the company’s prospects under his leadership,” said Geordy Johnson, CEO, The Johnson Group, parent company of OTO Development.
Rain has worked with The Johnson Group family of companies for more than a decade, initially working in private equity with WJ Partners. In 2014, he was named president of the Industrial Division at Johnson Development Associates where, over the course of 10 years, he grew the platform into one of the country’s largest private developers of warehouse space.
A decorated veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, Rain spent four years as an infantry officer before beginning his private sector career. During tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, his leadership and heroism in combat merited a Bronze Star with Valor.
“It’s a privilege to take on this new role within The Johnson Group,” said Rain. “My predecessors built a resilient, successful company. I’m excited by the opportunity to work alongside OTO’s 2,700 team members to continue to build upon OTO’s legacy and successful track record.”
