It’s not everyday that a CEO leaves Ontario to head up an Alberta company, nor is it everyday that someone takes on 160 billion dollars in assets to manage. But for Evan Siddall, CEO of Alberta Investment Management Corporation, doing so is simply the next step in a long and illustrious career.

On this episode, we speak with Evan about his journey out west, joining AIMCo during a tumultuous period in the company’s history, and why equity, diversity, and inclusion are so important to him.

We also hear from Evan about how he has approached his early onset parkinson’s diagnosis, the future of AIMCo, and his long-term view for Alberta.
