Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (Omers) hires Adam Buzanis from the CAAT Pension Plan to lead its private equity funds business. Bloomberg and the Financial Post both report that Buzanis spent roughly seven years at CAAT, where he ran or led the pension plan’s private equity strategy before moving to Omers. The appointments are tied to Omers’ efforts to make private equity investing a more central component of its broader buyout and private markets activities. Bloomberg characterizes the hire as part of building Omers’ private equity funds strategy, highlighting the role of a private-equity-focused executive in expanding that line of business. The Financial Post similarly describes the move as positioning Buzanis to head Omers’ private markets and private equity funds work. Both sources present the hiring as a leadership change intended to strengthen Omers’ capability and organizational focus on private equity funds.
