Canada Pension Plan Investment Board moved Priti Singh to chief risk officer, replacing a former BlackRock Inc. executive who had been in the role for only a year and a half.
Singh is taking over immediately from Kristen Walters, who was appointed in January of last year. CPPIB, Canada’s largest pension manager, made the decision two years ago to split the risk role from the chief financial officer’s job.
