Taking a modern and independent investment approach at the TTC Pension Plan |
A career in the pension industry has prepared Heather Wolfe for the role of chief executive officer at the Toronto Transit Commission Pension Plan.
“I’ve spent my whole career in pensions and this idea that everything we do affects a Canadian, a Torontonian, somebody who’s building a life, building to retirement, that excites me. [It] fills me with purpose and I think it fills the team with purpose.”
