MetLife hires former TAL exec

The life insurer has appointed Jeremy Simmons to the role after having worked for TAL since 2012.

Prior to his appointment, Mr Simmons has held a number of executive roles including most recently as TAL general manager of customer strategy.

MetLife has also hired Joshua McKenzie from Stream Live in the UK to take up the role of direct contact centre manager.

Also this month, the life insurer has hired Matthew O’Halloran – formerly of Toyota Financial Services – as the new head of IT infrastructure.

In the year to date, the life insurer has made 10 senior hires across the business, with members all moving to the company from executive roles across the banking, finance and insurance industries.
