Ex-Deutsche Bank exec to lead EMEA at Ontario Teachers

The C$205 billion ($161 billion) Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board appointed Nick Jansa as senior managing director of Europe, Middle East and Africa. He had been at Deutsche Bank for 24 years, most recently as managing director, co-head of Corporate Finance EMEA and global co-head of Leveraged Debt Capital Markets. As a member of the investment executive team for Ontario Teachers, he will lead the investment activities and portfolio management in EMEA at the pension system’s London office. Jansa will report directly to Chief Investment Officer Ziad Hindo. At the same time, Ontario Teachers also selected Ben Chan to take on a new role as senior managing director of Asia Pacific. Chan joined the pension fund in 2018 and most recently worked on opening the system’s new Singapore office. His background spans three decades of international experience in public and private equities, investment banking and accounting. Prior to joining the pension plan, he worked at Khazanah Nasional Berhad. “Our investment strategy calls for extensive investment capabilities and growth outside North America in the next five to 10 years. As head of EMEA and APAC, respectively, Nick and Ben will play critical roles in helping us achieve our growth and global ambitions,” said Hindo in a statement. “They will partner with our asset class heads to broaden and deepen relationships with our existing investment partners and make new connections in strategically prioritized areas.”
