AIG has named Adam Winslow as CEO, international of its life and retirement division.

Winslow currently serves as CEO of AIG Life Limited (UK), where he has led the business since its acquisition by AIG in 2015.

In his new position, Winslow will continue to lead AIG Life and will now also assume responsibility for Laya Healthcare in Ireland. He will also support potential further international expansion opportunities.

Winslow will also join the life and retirement executive team and will remain based in London. He will continue to report to Rod Rishel, AIG’s life insurance chief executive.

Winslow has more than 15 years of experience in the insurance industry across both life and general insurance in France, South Africa and the UK. Prior to joining AIG, he led both the life retail and partnerships businesses at Aviva.

Kevin Hogan, executive vice president and CEO of life and retirement, commented: “We have established a strong foundation for success and growth in the US, and internationally in the UK and Ireland, which positions us well to expand our existing businesses while pursuing opportunistic growth.

“Adam has successfully integrated and transformed the performance of our life business in the UK, implementing a growth agenda and producing strong shareholder value, all of which are essential skills in helping us deliver on our strategic growth ambitions.”

Winslow remarked: “I am very pleased to join the US life & retirement executive team and take up this new position alongside my existing responsibility as CEO of AIG Life.

“This is an exciting time at AIG, and I look forward to working with colleagues across our businesses to leverage our many strengths and make further progress on improving our performance and delivering profitable growth.”
