MONTREAL — CDPQ has announced the appointment of Rana Ghorayeb and Martine Rivard to the board of directors of its subsidiary CDPQ Infra.

Ghorayeb was recently appointed executive vice-president and head of real estate at CDPQ, stated a release. Previously, she had served as president and CEO of Otera Capital since 2019.

Rivard has led human resources departments at several major companies, including VIA Rail Canada, CSL Group and Air Liquide Canada. She sits on the Agropur board of directors and human capital, technology and governance committees.
