MetLife IM head of sustainability strategies group departs

MetLife Investment Management (MIM) has bid farewell to its head of sustainability strategies group (SSG).

SSG is responsible for MIM's sustainability aspirations, including oversight on sustainability governance, sustainability analytics, product development and client engagement.

Kate Temby left her roles of head of SSG, as well as chair of MIM's internal sustainable investment council, wrapping up her three-and-a-half years tenure at the company.

Temby joined the company following the acquisition of Affirmative Investment Management by MIM, where she was the head of global client engagement and partner for over five years. She was also stationed at Goldman Sachs, JBWere, and PwC earlier in her career.

Announcing her departure on LinkedIn, Temby said: "After an exciting chapter, I am finishing up at MetLife Investment Management. I am appreciative of the many client relationships, especially those in Australia and New Zealand," she said.

"I am also grateful for the opportunity to help build Affirmative Investment Management and sustainability capabilities at MIM.

"To my team and colleagues - thank you for your collaboration, trust, and the fun we have had building the business and our careers. It has been a privilege."

MIM has confirmed PineBridge global head of corporate responsibility Kate Faraday, who has oversight of SSG, will continue to lead the team.

Faraday is based in New York and has been with PineBridge for nearly 20 years.
