The $189.5 billion Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan has appointed two new members to its executive team.
Ziad Hindo, a veteran investment professional who joined Ontario Teachers’ in 2000, has been appointed chief investment officer, effective immediately. In this role Hindo will be responsible for overseeing the Investments Division and overall investment portfolio. Hindo, who most recently led the Capital Markets department, will report to Ron Mock, president and CEO.
Jo Taylor, who has more than 30 years of experience in the private equity and venture capital industries, is being promoted to the newly-created role of executive managing director, Global Development, effective immediately. Taylor, who most recently ran Ontario Teachers’ international investment operations out of London and Hong Kong, will be responsible for elevating the organization’s global mindset. He and Hindo will design and execute the pension plan’s international investment strategy and presence. Taylor, who joined Ontario Teachers’ in 2012, will report to Mock and will relocate to Toronto from London.
“These appointments clearly demonstrate the strength of our pool of talent,” said Mock. “Supported by their world-class teams, I am confident that Ziad and Jo will be very successful in advancing our investment strategy using a total fund approach and global mindset.”
