American International Group has announced plans to consolidate and expand its Atlanta-area footprint with the relocation of its Alpharetta and Buckhead operations to a new innovation hub at 2002 Summit Boulevard Northeast in Brookhaven, Georgia. The Company is designing a collaborative workspace that will accommodate current employees and more than 600 new local hires.

AIG is expanding its operations in Atlanta and hiring local talent for various roles across underwriting, claims, operations, data engineering and AI. The new hub will enable these co-located teams to incubate digital capabilities, test new processes, and collaborate more seamlessly across functions, accelerating innovation to promote growth and drive scale for AIG’s core businesses.

 

“For many years, AIG has been a part of Atlanta’s thriving business community, and we look forward to creating more than 600 high-quality jobs that will provide rewarding opportunities for the talented and skilled local workforce,” said Peter Zaffino, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, AIG. “This investment is part of our commitment to continue to enhance our expertise to help our clients and partners navigate complex and emerging risks, while building additional capabilities for the future.”
