AIG says Scott Hallworth will join as chief digital officer next Monday.

Mr Hallworth, who was previously at Hewlett Packard, will lead the insurer’s digital, data and generative artificial intelligence strategy.  

Chairman and CEO Peter Zaffino says Mr Hallworth has a deep technical background.

“He is an accomplished leader with broad expertise, supported by over 30 years of experience leading enterprise-wide digital and data strategies across the technology, banking and insurance industries,” he said.

Claude Wade, AIG’s EVP chief digital officer and global head of business operations and claims, will step down at the end of the year to address health issues, and will move to an advisory role.

“I look forward to welcoming Scott to AIG as we accelerate our global deployment of AI and other technologies,” Mr Wade said.
