"Few people understand AIG's challenges and opportunities as well as Pete," Mr. Schreiber said. "As we intensify our focus on growth and sustainable returns, Pete will play a key role in our identifying and capitalizing on the best opportunities available to our industry-leading franchises. These efforts will be critical as we move toward independence while ensuring that the U.S. government recoups its entire investment in AIG."
