BCI’s $182 Billion Pension Fund Names Jon Salon Head of Private Equity Unit

British Columbia Investment Management Corp. named Jon Salon as the new global head of private equity, succeeding industry veteran Jim Pittman, who is leaving the pension plan at the end of the month.

Salon, who will assume the role next month from New York, joined the pension manager in 2024 after leading MDLive, a subsidiary of Cigna Group’s Evernorth Health Services. Prior to that, Salon spent about 15 years at buyout firm Bedford Funding, where he was a founding partner.
