MetLife Plans to Strengthen Malaysia Presence with New Center of Excellence
March 28, 2019
MetLife (NYSE:MET) is building a new Center of Excellence (CoE) for finance in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The CoE will partner with MetLife’s local country and global finance teams to provide expertise and support on financial reporting, planning and analysis, and finance technology systems.
Located at The Vertical Corporate Towers, a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s Bangsar South commercial district, the center will open in mid-2019 and will employ over 80 people.
With a population of more than seven million, Greater Kuala Lumpur has a diverse, highly-trained and multilingual talent base. MetLife is recruiting actuaries, chartered accountants and other financial professionals to staff the new center, and recently held recruitment events at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman and Sunway University.
“We are delighted to open our new center in Kuala Lumpur,” said Rick Butler, MetLife’s Vice President, Finance Transformation, Asia. “The center is well positioned to leverage the available skill-set and geographic proximity to Asia to deliver best-in-class service to our colleagues and customers in this region and beyond,” he added.
In addition to this CoE, MetLife has other centers of excellence in Asia, including a technology and operations hub in Malaysia and LumenLab, an innovation center in Singapore. MetLife also established a strategic partnership with AmBank Group in Malaysia in 2014 and came together as AmMetLife.
