MetLife IM Announces Interim President

MetLife Investment Management, the institutional asset management business of MetLife, Inc., announced that Jude Driscoll will be retiring from the company, effective May 2. Brian Funk has been appointed as MIM’s interim president.

“On behalf of the entire MIM team, I want to thank Jude for his leadership and contributions and wish him all the best in retirement,” said John McCallion, chief financial officer and head of MIM.

Funk will work with McCallion and MIM’s leadership team to advance MIM’s New Frontier strategy, a five-year strategy that includes accelerating MIM’s growth.

Funk joined MIM in 2017 following its acquisition of Logan Circle Partners, where he was head of Credit Research. He held a similar role at MIM, covering corporate, municipal and sovereign credit, as well as sustainable fixed income strategies and special situations. In April 2024, he was named global head of Private Capital. He will continue to lead MIM’s Private Capital business while serving as interim president.

“Brian is an outstanding leader, performance driven and client focused. His insights were instrumental in developing the New Frontier strategy for MIM, which positions him well to drive its execution, including the integration of PineBridge Investments,” McCallion said.
