Arizona Pension Nabs Canadian Administrator for Top Job

The Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) concluded its months-long search for a new executive this week.

The fund’s Board has selected Kevin Olineck to take over as administrator, according to the Arizona Republic.

More on Olineck, from the Arizona Republic:

Olineck is scheduled to assume his role with PSPRS in October, contingent upon receiving H-1B visa approval from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, according to PSPRS.

Olineck, of Victoria, B.C., currently works as vice president of member experience for British Columbia Pension Corp., which provides services to five public-sector pension plans that together have more than 500,000 members and more than $80 billion in assets.

Olineck has more than 15 years of experience in strategic and operational positions with both public-sector and private-sector pension systems, and has been a frequent visitor to Arizona for more than 20 years.

PSPRS manages over $8 billion in assets.
