The head of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), Mark Machin, has resigned after travelling to the United Arab Emirates to be vaccinated against COVID-19, flouting Canadian government’s travel advice and drawing criticism.

CPPIB, the country’s largest pension fund, on Friday named John Graham as chief executive officer, who is currently senior managing director and global head of credit investments.
