Le Régime de retraite des enseignantes et des enseignants de l’Ontario félicite David McGraw, directeur financier, pour son départ à la retraite en 2021

TORONTO – Jo Taylor, President and CEO of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (Ontario Teachers’), today announced that David McGraw, Chief Financial Officer, will be retiring from Ontario Teachers’ in summer 2021 after 16 years with the organization.

“David has had a substantial impact across the fund and played a key role in helping us become a world-class pension plan,” said Mr. Taylor. “He has also enabled the business by creating strong oversight and governance processes and using analytics and insights to enhance our financial decision-making tools and capabilities.”

Since joining Ontario Teachers’ in 2004, Mr. McGraw has helped grow the plan’s net assets by more than $120 billion and transformed the plan’s approach to financial reporting and valuations. Outside his role as CFO, Mr. McGraw has represented Ontario Teachers’ as a board member and Audit Committee Chair for several of our portfolio companies in Canada and internationally.

“It’s been a true honour to have seen our plan continue to evolve and grow over the years,” said Mr. McGraw. “What’s continued to inspire me is our employees’ commitment to our mission of providing excellent service and retirement security to our members. It’s the driving force behind all we do and part of what makes Ontario Teachers’ such a unique place to work.”

Mr. McGraw has been planning his retirement for some time and will remain in his current role until summer 2021 to ensure a seamless transition. Ontario Teachers’ is beginning a search for a successor, which will be announced next year.
