Incoming Old Mutual CEO to pick new operating officer

LONDON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - One of incoming Old Mutual (Other OTC: ODMTY - news) chief executive Bruce Hemphill's first tasks will be to pick a new chief operating officer, after Paul Hanratty resigned on Tuesday.

Hanratty's resignation from the Anglo-South African financial services group follows the departure of chief executive Julian Roberts earlier this year.

Roberts will be replaced in November by Hemphill, a former Standard Bank executive.

Hemphill will choose Hanratty's successor, an Old Mutual spokesman said.

Hanratty will work and remain on the board until the company announces its preliminary results in March, Old Mutual said in a statement.
