OMERS Ventures
As CEO of OMERS Ventures, it’s John Ruffolo’s job to find investment opportunities for the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System. In recent years that has meant a focus on the nation’s burgeoning tech sector – the fund has injected capital into start-ups such as Hootsuite and D2L Corp, companies where Ruffolo also occupies a board seat. Prior to coming on board with OMERS, Ruffolo was a partner with Deloitte and is a member of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants – so he knows a thing or two about making sure the books at OMERS Ventures stay in check.
