Ivan Limpright has been named chair of both Concert Properties and Concert Infrastructure Fund (CIF).

Former chair David Podmore, OBC, who co-founded Concert Properties in 1989 and founded CIF in 2010, retired on September 30, 2024 and will remain in an advisory capacity as Chair Emeritus to support Limpright and both boards.

“I am delighted to see Ivan assume the role of chair. Having worked closely with him for over a decade, I can attest to his strategic acumen, leadership experience and devotion to fostering meaningful collaboration. He is open to new and innovative ideas and brings to this role a deep understanding of both companies and our commitment to delivering results for our shareholders. I am confident that his enthusiastic, proactive approach will greatly benefit both companies as they continue to grow and evolve,” said Podmore.

Limpright’s extensive leadership experience spans over two decades, including significant roles in union leadership, pension fund and trust management, and serving on numerous boards and key committees.

He has been an active board director for both Concert Properties and Concert Infrastructure for over a decade, serving as a member of the executive, investments, hiring, audit and compensation committees, and gaining deep insight into both organizations.

Limpright served as president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) 1518, B.C.’s largest private sector union for more than 12 years.

“I am deeply honoured to step into this role and continue the remarkable legacy that David has established. I am driven to offer strategic direction that not only fosters sustainable growth but also ensures we have the agility to make sound, flexible investment decisions. At the same time, I remain committed to upholding the core values and founding principles that have guided both companies since their inception,” said Limpright.
