(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.
