Alright folks, grabbed my third coffee this morning and sat down, figured I’d actually dig into Bill Perocchi. Kept hearing the name pop up recently, right? Like, what’s he even doing now? Dunno about you, but I hate when info is just… nowhere. So, decided to do a deep dive myself.
First thing? Fired up the usual suspects – Google, obviously. Just typed in “Bill Perocchi latest” and hit enter. Tons of garbage right away. Old articles, stuff from 10 years back when he was running Boston Properties. NOPE. Not helpful. Got real specific then, searched “Bill Perocchi 2024” and “what is Bill Perocchi doing now”. Better, but still mostly scraps about past stuff, maybe a mention here and there.
Started getting kinda frustrated. Like, dude must be doing something. Got suspicious. Maybe he’s involved with another company? Switched gears. Remembered he was heavily into real estate investment trusts (REITs), knew he stepped down as CEO ages ago. Searched “Bill Perocchi current position” and “Bill Perocchi board member”. Jackpot.
Turns out? Bill Perocchi is sitting on a bunch of boards. Had to wade through a ton of corporate jargon websites – you know the type, impossible to read. But finally dug up some concrete stuff:
- CyrusOne Inc.: He’s Chair of the Board for this big data center company. So, definitely still in the infrastructure game, just switched from offices to data centers.
- American Tower Corporation: Found him listed as an Independent Director here too. Cell towers and comms infrastructure now.
Kept digging, found traces suggesting maybe advisory roles in other places, but hard confirmation? Nada. Looks like these board gigs are his main hustle now.
Still had that itch, you know? What about his personal life? Charities? Side hustles? Jumped to different platforms, news archives, scanned community foundation lists and recent event sponsorships. Found zero mention of any active charities or foundations fronted by him. Makes sense though; guy’s deep in corporate oversight, probably prefers keeping it private. No big public talks or interviews popped up from the last year either. Seems he’s chosen to be low-key post-CEO life.
Wrapped it all up by cross-referencing the dates and positions. CyrusOne became public again in 2022, and he became Chair. American Tower? Been on their board since 2019. So yeah, the answer to “what is Bill Perocchi doing now?” is pretty clear: Sitting on important boards, guiding big infrastructure companies, flying well under the public radar. Man, my fingers hurt from all that typing and clicking!
