Sofía Belmar to take new role with Latin
America regional team and be succeeded by Mario Valdes, who
currently oversees six operations in Central and Eastern
Europe
These changes reinforce MetLife’s commitment
to cross-region talent development and succession planning
After six years of successfully leading MetLife’s operation in
Mexico – the company’s third-largest global operation – Sofía
Belmar-Berumen will be taking a new regional role as Head of
Business Development and Transformation, Latin America.
Belmar's leadership and business acumen have been critical for
MetLife Mexico to become the leading player in the local insurance
industry. A prominent thought leader, she is the first woman
elected President of the Mexico insurance association (AMIS) since
it was founded in 1964.
Starting July 1, Mario Valdes will become the new General
Manager of MetLife Mexico. A native of Mexico, Valdes brings more
than 25 years of global experience in the insurance industry,
including leadership roles in Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Turkey and
the Gulf. Most recently, he has served as MetLife’s General Manager
in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, as well as Head of Designated
Markets for EMEA, which includes oversight of Bulgaria, Hungary,
Romania and Ukraine.
“While Sofía has built an impressive legacy at MetLife Mexico,
Mario is a seasoned and successful leader who brings an outstanding
track record of global experience,” said Eric Clurfain, President,
MetLife Latin America. “These changes reinforce MetLife’s strong
commitment to cross-region talent development and succession
planning.”
Belmar and Valdes will both report to Clurfain. They will work
together closely during June to ensure a smooth and seamless
transition until all changes are effective on July 1.
