Jeff Wendling, president and chief executive officer at the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan, will be retiring in 2025 after more than 25 years with the organization.
He’ll remain in the position until the HOOPP’s board of trustees names a successor and will work with the board to ensure a smooth transition, according to a press release.

Wendling was appointed president and CEO in April 2020 and was previously the HOOPP’s executive vice-president and chief investment officer. He joined the organization in 1998 as a senior portfolio manager on the public equities team.
“One of the things that first drew me to [the] HOOPP was that I saw an organization with a lot of potential to become even more successful than it was at the time,” said Wendling, in the release. “After 26 years, together we have proved that to be the case. Working toward our mission, delivering on the pension promise for Ontario’s health-care workers, has been at the core of what we do.”
