New York insurer MetLife Inc., with operations in Hartford, has plucked former Bank of America risk manager Marlene Debel to be its treasurer.
Debel also becomes senior vice president, effective June 27, succeeding Steven J. Goulart, who was recently named chief investment officer.
She will report to William J. Wheeler, executive vice president and chief financial officer.
MetLife says Debel will be responsible for strategic management of its financial resources, including capital management and overseeing the company’s relationships with both banks and rating agencies.
Most recently, Debel was global head of liquidity risk management and rating agency relations for Bank of America.
Debel served as assistant treasurer of Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. from June 2007 to December 2008.
Debel received an MBA in finance from Fordham University and a BS in finance from the State University of New York at Albany.
