Green moves: Frontier Advisors, OMERS

Frontier Advisors has appointed former Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) specialist Aneesha Singh as responsible investments consultant, strengthening its advice to asset owners on climate, sustainability and responsible investment.

Most recently, Singh was with the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in London, where she worked on investor engagement initiatives focused on net zero transition planning, climate governance and stewardship.

Before joining PRI, she worked at Deloitte Access Economics, delivering economic and climate policy analysis for government agencies, financial institutions and industry clients. Her work spanned climate transition, decarbonisation and economic policy.

"Aneesha's experience across climate economics and investor engagement will help us turn complex analysis into practical advice for clients. This is particularly critical for our ICIO clients where Aneesha will have a key focus," Frontier director of specialist services Paul Newfield said.

"Our clients need responsible investment support across a broad range of activities, from data and reporting to manager due diligence and proxy voting. This appointment strengthens our capacity to support those needs."

Meanwhile, Canadian pension fund OMERS has named Michael Kelly, currently chief legal officer and chief sustainability officer, as the new role of head of Europe, strategic relationships and chief sustainability officer. Kelly will take on the role in January 2027.

In taking on this new role based in London, Kelly will also continue to serve as OMERS most senior sustainability executive globally.

"Michael is one of our most senior executives with deep knowledge of our organisation and its global asset base, extensive leadership experience, a proven ability to build strategic partnerships, and a longstanding commitment to sustainability," OMERS chief executive Blake Hutcheson said.

"His appointment reflects the continuing importance of Europe to OMERS and will further strengthen our relationships and presence in that region."

OMERS chief operating officer Bob Aziz will assume oversight of OMERS legal and compliance functions.
