AIG departure list grows to more than 60
NEW YORK (Bloomberg) — Christopher Swift, named by Harford Financial Services Group Inc. as chief financial officer, joins more than 60 managers leaving American International Group Inc. since its bailout.
Swift was CFO of American Life Insurance Co., a unit that AIG is negotiating to sell to MetLife Inc. AIG announced this month the departure of Steven Udvar-Hazy as chief executive officer of International Lease Finance Corp., the plane-leasing business he founded 27 years ago and sold to AIG in 1990.
AIG said on December 30 that general counsel Anastasia Kelly was leaving after a dispute over government-imposed pay limits.
The following table, listing workers who have left since New York-based AIG was rescued by the US in September 2008, was compiled from company statements and news reports. Some job titles, companies and employee's first names have been abbreviated for space, and the new employers of some workers weren't immediately available.
Those who defected to Bermuda-based companies appear in bold.
