Keohane’s career at the HOOPP began in 1999 when he joined as manager of equity trading. He progressed into more senior roles before becoming CEO in 2012.
“It’s an honour to be part of HOOPP and I’m very proud of the many shared achievements during my time with the organization,” said Keohane. “We’ve excelled during times of challenge and change and, most importantly, we have continually strengthened our ability to deliver on the pension promise to our members.”
He’ll remain in the role for another year while trustees search for his replacement.
