Teachers' names first chief operations officer

The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan has named its first chief operations officer (COO).

Rosemarie McClean has been promoted to the new role of COO, effective Nov. 1, 2014.

McClean joined Teachers’ in 1986, rising through the ranks to the position of senior vice-president, member services, and a member of the executive team.

Under her leadership, the member services division developed innovative solutions that dramatically improved the speed, range and quality of client services. She introduced award-winning programs, including web-based retirement planning tools that provide members with immediate access to personal pension information.
