CPPIB promotes Kim in Asia leadership reshuffle

Kim (pictured) was appointed managing director and head of Asia in 2016 with responsibility for overseeing Asian investments excluding Australia.  She joined CPPIB in 2006 and went on to establish the firm's Hong Kong office and launch its Asia private equity business.

Kim's promotion coincides with a number of other senior executive moves, including the appointment of Deborah Orida as senior managing director and global head of active equities. Orida, who joined CPPIB in 2009, previously served as Kim's successor in the role of managing director and head of private equity Asia.

Other leadership changes include the appointment of Shane Feeney, currently the global private investments head, to the role of senior managing director and global head of private equity with responsibility for CPPIB's Asian PE portfolio. Feeney will also oversee direct private equity, funds, secondaries and co-investments.

CPPIB's latest annual report emphasized the dominant role of international investments in the fund's overall strategy by valuing overseas portfolio assets at C$264.7 billion ($206 billion) versus a total of C$52.2 billion for Canadian assets. Asia accounted for about 18% of the portfolio by geography, with some C$56.2 billion under management.
