Mark Machin

President and CEO
Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board

Mark Machin was appointed CPPIB’s president and CEO in June 2016 and is responsible for leading the organization and its investment activities. Machin joined CPPIB in 2012 as its first president for Asia. In November 2013, he became head of international, responsible for CPPIB’s international investment activities, managing global advisory relationships and leading the organization internationally.

Under Machin, the CPPIB has become one of the institutional investors whose approach many are trying to replicate. As private and alternative investments gain popularity, managers at firms dealing in those types of investments are viewing what has made the CPPIB successful and applying its approach to their own strategies.
