Dale Burgess will now oversee Ontario Teachers’ global Equities investment department after being named executive managing director, Equities, effective immediately.
He had been in the role on an interim basis since February.
Alongside his new position, Burgess will continue as interim head of the Infrastructure & Natural Resources (INR) department until a successor is appointed.
His responsibilities include managing infrastructure acquisitions and asset oversight on a global scale.
Burgess joined Ontario Teachers’ in 1996 and has extensive experience in the utilities, power, and transportation sectors.
He led the acquisition of Cubico Sustainable Investments and Autopista Arco Norte and currently sits on the boards of AndesCan, Ontario Airports Investments Ltd., and Heritage Royalty.
His previous roles include head of the INR team for Latin America, where he managed portfolio companies and advanced business development and origination in target countries across the LATAM region.
In his new role, Burgess remains part of the Investments Senior Leadership Team and reports to Gillian Brown, chief investment officer, Public & Private Investments.
