Hallworth’s role will focus on scaling GenAI across AIG’s operations to drive enterprise-wide standards and innovation. “I am honored to join AIG and to work with Peter Zaffino and his leadership team to accelerate this next chapter of growth for the company,” said Mr. Hallworth. “AIG has a strong foundation in data and digital innovation, and I am excited to collaborate with the team to leverage the continuous advancements in GenAI to drive innovation and impact at scale.”
Claude Wade, the outgoing Chief Digital Officer, has been instrumental in establishing AIG’s data, digital, and AI foundation. “I want to thank Claude for his tremendous contributions to AIG during his tenure and the lasting impact he has had on our company,” said Mr. Zaffino. Wade reflected, “It has been a privilege to be a part of AIG during the company’s extraordinary journey and return to industry leadership. I am very proud of the progress we have made, and I am deeply grateful to Peter Zaffino for the incredible opportunity to lead the Digital, Operations and Claims organization. I look forward to welcoming Scott to AIG as we accelerate our global deployment of AI and other technologies.”
