Scott Wong was made interim CIO of the $500M InBC Investment Corp., while the organization searches for someone to fill the role permanently. 

The investment arm of the BC government is seeking to replace Leah Nguyen, who left the role earlier this year. 

Wong has been with InBC for nearly three years, serving as an Investment Partner. Prior to joining the organization, he was a vice-president at J.P. Morgan and an investment banking analyst at Royal Bank Capital Markets.

The CIO will be responsible for all investment decisions – overseeing a small team responsible for sourcing, assessing and structuring all investment opportunities, according to the job description on the fund’s website. It noted the CIO will be tasked with managing the existing portfolio — including providing counsel and advice to current investees — and identify new sectors and investment opportunities where InBC can serve as a lead or co‑lead. The successful candidate will also work closely with the CEO and other members of the leadership team including the CFO and General Counsel on the overall organizational strategy.
