Wittington Investments has hired two new managing directors: Jane Segal, from the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan; as well as Zvi Orvitz, from the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, who will lead investments in companies participating in the energy sector’s green transition.

Talking point: Wittington Investments is also looking to hire a third managing director, who would be responsible for funding disruptive-retail and consumer-products companies, a source told The Globe. Meanwhile, Wittington Ventures—a firm affiliated with the family’s empire—quietly launched its second fund last fall, a $120-million one for which Loblaw injected half the capital. The move shows the family’s increased commitment to backing startups.
