To All HOOPP Members:

On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP), we are pleased to announce the appointment of Annesley Wallace as the new President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective April 1, 2025. Annesley replaces Jeff Wendling, who announced his retirement earlier this year and has served as CEO since 2020.

Annesley brings a track record of leadership across investment management and pension administration.

Annesley’s investment experience includes overseeing the global infrastructure portfolio at OMERS where she delivered strong, risk-adjusted returns and consistent performance for members. As Chief Pension Officer at OMERS, she led initiatives that enhanced member engagement, digital services, and the overall member experience for Plan members.

Annesley is currently the Executive Vice-President, Strategy and Corporate Development and President, Power and Energy Solutions at TC Energy, responsible for leading and executing the development of corporate strategy, corporate development activities and capital allocation process, as well as for all aspects of the company’s power generation and unregulated natural gas storage businesses.

We are confident in Annesley’s ability to reinforce HOOPP’s values and with her extensive knowledge of the Canadian pension system and proven track record of leadership, Annesley is uniquely positioned to sustain our strong culture and performance, and lead HOOPP forward.

Under Annesley’s leadership, HOOPP’s priority will remain the same: to have a fully funded plan that delivers a secure and reliable pension for members.

It is also important to note that HOOPP’s strong experience as an investor and a pension administrator is thanks to the talented and dedicated team it continues to have in place. We are fortunate to have such a great group managing our pension plan – which is one of the very best in Canada. With Annesley joining the team, we are confident HOOPP will continue to deliver strong results and great service to members.

On behalf of the Board, we want to thank Jeff for everything he did for the organization during his 25+ years at HOOPP, and we wish him the best in his well-earned retirement.

Sincerely,

Dan Anderson, HOOPP Board Chair
