Neil Petroff, executive vice-president and chief investment officer of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, is retiring, effective June 1.
“Neil’s contribution to Teachers’ success cannot be overstated,” says Teachers’ president and CEO Ron Mock.
“Neil has worked in various areas of the investment division and taken on progressively senior level positions leading up to his current role as EVP and chief investment officer,” he adds. “During his tenure, our strong and talented investment division team has grown our global presence substantially, and cemented our brand internationally.”
“I have been lucky enough to hold the best job in Canada for the past six years,” says Petroff. “I’ve been working closely with our CEO Ron Mock and the investment team on the development of a new investment strategy over the past several months. This is the ideal time for my retirement, and for the next generation of investment professionals to move our new strategy forward.”
An internal and external search will be undertaken for a successor.
