"I am pleased to welcome Carla to MetLife’s board of directors," said R. Glenn Hubbard, chairman of MetLife, Inc. “During her more than three decades of experience, Carla has been a visionary leader. Her vast experience and knowledge across financial services and other industry sectors will serve MetLife exceptionally well.”

Harris is a member of the board of Walmart, Cummins, Inc., SEO (Sponsors for Educational Opportunity), Sesame Workshop and Mother Cabrini Foundation. She is also a member of the board of overseers of Harvard University. Previously, she served as chair of the board of the Morgan Stanley Foundation and of The Executive Leadership Council. In addition, Harris was co-chair of the National Social Action Commission of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

In August 2013, Harris was appointed by President Barack Obama to chair the National Women’s Business Council.

Among her many accolades, Harris has been named to Fortune’s list of “The 50 Most Powerful Black Executives in Corporate America,” American Banker’s “Top 25 Most Powerful Women in Finance” list, Black Enterprise’s “Top 75 Most Powerful Women in Business” and “Top 75 African Americans on Wall Street” lists, Essence’s list of “The 50 Women Who are Shaping the World,” and Ebony’s “Power 100” and “15 Corporate Women at the Top” lists.

Harris is the author of several books, including “Strategize to Win”, “Expect to Win”, and the soon-to-be-released “Lead To Win”.
