Canada Pension Plan welcomes ex-Doughty head

According to Corbidge's LinkedIn profile, he joined the LP last month as a senior principal. He left Doughty Hanson in September 2012, after a promotion to co-head of private equity in 2009. He had joined Doughty in 2004.

Prior to leaving the company, he led Doughty's sale of activated carbon specialist Norit to US trade player Cabot Corporation for $1.1bn.

The GP underwent a management reshuffle just after the deal, when it announced a new GP structure, including limited liability partnerships, following the death of co-founder and majority shareholder Nigel Doughty in February this year.
