OTTAWA — Janis Byrne, Elisabeth Hivon, Vince Gasparro and Hari Subramaniam have been appointed to the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s (CIB) Board of Directors.
“Collectively, they will bring their extensive experience in project development, risk management, law, sustainable investing, business administration, project finance, and public-private partnerships to the board,” a release reads.
The CIB is governed by an independent board of directors and is accountable to Parliament through the minister of housing, infrastructure and communities. The purpose of the Crown corporation is to leverage the capital and expertise of the private sector. The CIB invests in revenue-generating infrastructure projects in the public interest.
Jane Bird will continue to oversee the board of directors on an interim basis until a chairperson is appointed by the governor in council. She has been a key member of the board since her appointment in November 2017.
