(Bloomberg) — MetLife Inc. named Michel Khalaf president of U.S. operations after he helped the insurer expand in Europe.
Khalaf, who joined with MetLife's 2010 purchase of Alico, replaces Maria Morris, who led the U.S. business on an interim basis, the New York-based insurer said Thursday in a statement. Morris, 55, who is also the global head of employee benefits, will retire within months after 33 years at the company.
Chief Executive Officer Steve Kandarian, 65, is adding to the duties of some of his top managers after reshaping the company through the sale of an adviser network and announcing plans to spin off of the U.S. retail unit known as Brighthouse Financial. Marty Lippert, 57, who is head of global technology and operations for the company, was also given responsibility for MetLife Holdings, which includes the books of business that the insurer is winding down.
