Infrastructure Ontario Announces New CEO

Bert Clark has been appointed president and chief executive officer of Infrastructure Ontario, and nominated to be a member of the agency’s board of directors.

For the past four years, Clark was the managing director of Scotia Capital’s Global Infrastructure Finance Group. Before joining Scotiabank, he was the senior vice president of projects for Infrastructure Ontario, where he established procurement practices to ensure the agency’s on-time, on-budget delivery of public infrastructure projects.

“For the past decade, Mr. Clark has been a champion and architect of public infrastructure renewal through public-private partnerships. The expertise, and experience he brings to his new role, will ensure that Infrastructure Ontario continues to be a leader in delivering public infrastructure,” said Tony Ross, the chair of the board of directors for Infrastructure Ontario.

From 2003 to 2005, Clark was a senior policy advisor to the Premier of Ontario, and helped lead the establishment of Ontario’s first long-term infrastructure investment plan. Prior to 2003, he spent five years at Toronto law firm Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP.
