After nearly five years as the top lawyer at insurance giant MetLife Inc., executive vice president and general counsel Ricardo Anzaldua has announced his plans to retire.
In a Thursday internal memo provided to Corporate Counsel, Anzaldua wrote to legal affairs colleagues that his last day as general counsel will be June 30, though he will continue to serve as a special legal adviser to MetLife chief executive officer Steven Kandarian through the end of this year. Senior vice president and chief counsel Stephen Gauster will serve as interim general counsel, Anzaldua, who joined MetLife in 2012, added in the memo.
