John Ruffolo of OMERS Ventures is part of this year's Wealth Professional Canada's Host List.
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.
