Jim Leech, president and CEO of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, has been named among the best of the best, according to Britain’s Telegraph newspaper.
The newspaper listed its Top 10 power brokers to watch at the World Economic Forum, which will be held in Davos, Switzerland in two weeks’ time. The event, which the Telegraph describes as a “heady mix of royalty, billionaire tycoons and top politicians,” will no doubt focus primarily on the eurozone debt crisis; however, as evidenced by the Top 10 list, emerging markets, energy, technology and infrastructure will also be important topics to watch. It’s in that last category where the Telegraph gives a nod to Leech: “Teachers’ is considered one of the key investors in infrastructure assets in the world,” it reports.
The Telegraph says that while Leech and the other Top 10 suggestions have made fewer headlines, they are among the most influential.
