Ron Mock, senior vice-president of fixed income and alternative investments at Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan will succeed Jim Leech as president and CEO in 2014.
“Ron brings the ideal combination of experience, knowledge and leadership acumen to the CEO role at this high performance organization,” says Teachers’ board chair Eileen Mercier.
A selection committee of the board has been engaged in preparations for the CEO succession since 2011 in anticipation of Leech’s retirement. He announced in April that he would retire at the end of the year after more than 12 years at Teachers’, the last six as CEO.
Mock joined Teachers’ in 2001 as director of alternative investments. He was promoted to vice-president later that year, a position he held until 2008, when he was promoted to senior vice-president, assuming responsibility for all fixed income assets and strategy as well as alternative investments and hedge funds.
Mock’s successor as senior vice-president has not yet been named.
