Succeeding Cunningham
Orida was appointed following a global search and will join PSP Investments as the successor to Neil Cunningham, who retires in March 2023 but until then will be vice chair and special advisor to the president and CEO.
“In making this decision, the Board unanimously agrees that Ms. Orida is ideally qualified to lead PSP Investments forward into its next phase of growth and strategic evolution,” said Martin J. Glynn, chair of the board at PSP Investments. “On behalf of my colleagues on the Board of Directors and all PSP Investments employees, I would like to thank Neil Cunningham for his immense contribution and for ensuring a smooth and nimble transition process.”
