In 2019, Jeff Davis, Chief Legal and Corporate Affairs Officer of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, was awarded Canadian General Counsel of the Year. When he got up to give his acceptance speech, he spoke not about his career achievements, but about the mental health challenges that face legal professionals. While the speech might have come as a surprise to some in the room, those who have worked with Jeff know that his focus on vulnerability is one that has defined his career and leadership style.
