CPPIB’s new boss: The man who built a credit empire

After Mark Machin’s departure, who is new chief executive John Graham? From an unconventional background to a swift rise through the ranks, Graham appears to like defying the odds.

CPP Investments, the investment arm of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, has appointed John Graham, the organisation’s former global head of credit investments, as its new chief executive officer.

Graham replaces Mark Machin, who departs under a cloud, having been accused in media outlets of jumping Canada’s covid-19 queue by flying to get a jab in the United Arab Emirates.
