Ottawa has appointed veteran pension executive Jim Leech as a special adviser for its new infrastructure bank, which has been set up to facilitate private investment in such projects as new roads and bridges, Reuters reported. Leech retired in 2014 as CEO of Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, which had pioneered a model of directly investing in infrastructure, real estate and other alternatives. He previously headed its Teachers' Private Capital, where he oversaw growth in private equity, venture capital and infrastructure investments from $2 billion in 2001 to $20 billion in 2007.
