SEOUL, KOREA (April 29, 2026) — Newmark continues to strengthen its long-term presence in South Korea through a series of leadership appointments within the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM Korea), reinforcing the firm’s active participation and engagement with clients, stakeholders and the broader business community.

John Pritchard, Country Head, South Korea, has been appointed Chair of AMCHAM Korea’s Real Estate Committee and named to its Board of Governors, positioning Newmark at the center of key business and policy discussions shaping the country’s commercial real estate landscape. In parallel, Newmark has joined AMCHAM Korea as a Founding Partner, the chamber’s highest tier of membership, further supporting the firm’s expanding presence and engagement in-market.

Pritchard’s leadership roles place Newmark within a prominent forum for dialogue between Korean and U.S. businesses, reinforcing the firm’s ability to remain closely connected to the priorities of corporate occupiers, investors and other market participants. As Chair of the Real Estate Committee, he will help guide conversations around market trends, capital flows and the evolving needs of clients operating in South Korea and across Asia Pacific. This engagement is further supported by Newmark’s Founding Partner membership, which reflects a deeper level of participation within AMCHAM Korea’s network of leading U.S. and multinational companies operating in the market.

“John’s appointment as Chair of the Real Estate Committee and to the Board of Governors reflects his leadership and deep understanding of Korea’s real estate landscape,” said James Kim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AMCHAM Korea. “We are pleased to welcome him into these roles and look forward to his contributions in advancing industry dialogue and promoting greater U.S.-Korea cross-border investment. We also welcome Newmark in Korea as a Founding Partner and value the firm’s expanded engagement with AMCHAM’s community.”

Pritchard added, “These appointments reflect the momentum of our business in South Korea and the importance of being actively engaged in the conversations shaping our market as connected, globally informed experts. AMCHAM Korea provides an important platform for collaboration and dialogue, and I look forward to contributing in these roles while continuing to support our clients across the region.”
