(NYSE: MET) today announced that as the result of the annual leadership review process encompassing the MetLife enterprise, the company has made some moves and added new responsibilities at the senior management level. "I am convinced that broadening the experience of our associates throughout their careers will create stronger leadership for the future," said MetLife chairman and chief executive officer Robert H. Benmosche. "I believe that through these changes we can add new perspective and expertise throughout the organization that will drive new levels of innovation, while at the same time focusing on making customer service our number one business priority." In total, MetLife has made 26 changes in job moves or expansions at the senior level this year, on top of 63 over the last two years, affecting the top 300 executives in the company. The following are senior level position changes, effective July 1: As part of MetLife's ongoing efforts to bring together all administrative functions, Ethics and Compliance, under senior vice president Lou Ragusa, will report to Lisa Weber, MetLife's senior executive vice president and chief administrative officer. In addition to Ethics and Compliance, Lou Ragusa will take on new responsibility for Facilities and Services. Vice president Mike Zarcone will assume responsibility for Government and Industry Relations with the retirement of Vince Reusing, effective September 1. Senior vice president Chris Cawley will be responsible for the Customer Response Center (which receives in excess of 34 million calls per year), Remittance Processing and Reengineering, focusing on customer service delivery for the entire MetLife enterprise.
