Alberta Pension Looks for New CIO Amid Push to Expand Calgary Office

Alberta Investment Management Corp. is hunting for a new chief investment officer as it carries out an overhaul that began last year when the provincial government fired the board and its top executive.

The new CIO would be based in Calgary, the largest city in Alberta and the home of Canada’s major oil and gas companies. Edmonton-based Aimco is considering both internal and external candidates, according to people familiar with the matter, asking not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly.
