This week, we announced that Michael Graham, Executive Vice President, and Global Head of Private Equity, will retire from OMERS, effective February 2025 at which time he will remain connected to the business as a Senior Advisor. For over two decades, Michael has played a significant role in shaping our private equity business, team, and culture. As we begin a new chapter, responsibility of the private equity business will be divided at the strategy level and transition to Eric Haley and Michael Block. Under this new direction, Eric Haley’s title will change to Head of Private Equity, Buyout and he will lead the buyout strategy and teams. Michael Block will take on an expanded mandate, leading a new group which will be named Private Capital, and his title will now be Head of Private Capital. His portfolio includes oversight across our Ventures, Growth, Green Tech, Life Sciences, European and Asia-Pacific private equity, as well as the development and execution of the new global funds strategy. A big thank you to Michael Graham for his outstanding leadership and service to our more than 600,000 members and congratulations to Eric Haley and Michael Block on their new roles!

Can you believe we're more than halfway through season two of The Pension Blueprint? ICYMI: Joined by Prabha Ram and Eric Haley, our host, Jackie DeSouza, explores pension funding and how the collaboration between OMERS public and private investment teams helps us secure retirement income for our members. We tackle a crucial retirement topic – when to start collecting CPP – with industry expert Bonnie-Jeanne MacDonald, National Institute on Ageing. In another episode, Celine Chiovitti and our CHRO, Nancy Nazer, speak candidly about women's unique financial challenges, including the gaps in credited service resulting from taking time off to raise children and take care of family members. We also hear from Martin Diokno, who brings 17 years of experience connecting with members to answer common questions about the Plan.

Don’t miss Neil Bansal, Managing Director, Operations & Strategy, on The LAB Podcast: Value Creation in Private Equity where he shares his insights on the power of AI and digital tools in driving value creation.
Digital Transformation & Differentiated Alpha with Neil Bansal from OMERS Private Equity in our most recent episode of the #TheLAB🎙️ In this episode, Scott Estill and Nick Creasey go deep with Neil into how OMERS is leveraging digital transformation, AI, and data to unlock value across their portfolio. He shares how digital is a massive, untapped opportunity that goes beyond cost savings—it's about driving differentiated alpha and positioning companies for higher-value exits. Neil also talks about the challenges of rushing into digital without strategic alignment, leading to wasted resources and missed opportunities. His approach? Tie digital investments directly to business imperatives, and ensure AI and data become strategic assets. From evaluating companies in diligence to implementing value creation plans, Neil offers actionable insights on how digital can bend the trajectory of revenue, costs, and customer experience.

150 kits. 200 newborn hats. 1 proud team. Keeping with our #CommunityDays tradition, we recently welcomed New York Cares for a volunteer event at our office. Our team came together to assemble 150 baby essentials kits and made nearly 200 hats for newborns, all in support of Little Essentials. We are proud to support these great organizations that are making a significant impact in communities across the city!
Golf is more than just a game – it can be a powerful business tool that offers players an opportunity to build strong relationships outside the office. And Summer Swing was more than just a social – it was an opportunity for women across the organization to come together to enhance their golf skills, whether a beginner or a seasoned player. Check out some photos from the recent Women’s Peer Nexus event, where we aimed to empower teams across OMERS to step onto the course with confidence.
Let the #CommunityDays begin! Last week, about 30 members of our team spent back-to-back afternoons feeding it forward by cooking a three-course meal for the residents of Interval House. Although a small gesture on our part, we hope the meals provided comfort to families who are working to rebuild their lives. Thank you to everyone who participated – we look forward to supporting our communities further with upcoming volunteer events in New York and London.
