Canadian LP Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan has appointed Nick Jansa to the position of senior managing director for EMEA.

Based in London, Jansa will report to chief investment officer Ziad Hindo and will lead investment activities and portfolio management in EMEA.

He joins from Deutsche Bank, where he spent more than 24 years, going on to become managing director, co-head of corporate finance EMEA and finally the global co-head of leveraged debt capital markets.

Jansa specialises as both capital allocator and principal investor, having built strong European knowledge and networks on the buy and sell side.
