The thesis

Why this org is unusual

The most distinctive feature of AIG’s current organization is the separation of the CEO and Chair roles, with Peter Zaffino moving to Executive Chair as Eric Andersen assumes the CEO position in mid‑2026.

This creates an uncommon dual‑leadership dynamic among large U.S. insurers, especially during an active transformation phase.

Structurally, AIG remains divisional, with General Insurance led as a distinct operating business under Jonathan Hancock, while finance, legal, and digital/operations functions report directly to the CEO. The CEO span of control is relatively tight, reflecting a desire for direct oversight during leadership transition.

The presence of a powerful Executive Chair suggests continued strategic continuity and board engagement, while operational authority consolidates under the new CEO. This structure balances stability with succession.

  • CEO and Chair roles separated
  • General Insurance run as primary operating division
