Mark Wiseman has been named chair of the Alberta Investment Management Corp. The former chief executive of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board was ousted from BlackRock in December for violating the company's workplace relationship policy. "Mark's accomplishments in investment management, his strategic thinking and leadership make him an excellent choice to chair this board," said outgoing chair Richard Bird in the release. In 2016, Wiseman left the CPP for BlackRock. He had been touted as a potential successor for the global investment company's CEO.
