MetLife Inc. on Jan. 8 named insider Michel Khalaf as its new chief executive officer to succeed Steven Kandarian, who held the position for eight years and helped the company ride through intense regulatory oversight in the wake of the financial crisis.
Khalaf, who headed the company’s U.S. and EMEA business, will move into the new role on May 1 after Kandarian retires, MetLife said in a statement.
