AIG considering Brian Duperreault as new CEO - CNBC

(Reuters) - American International Group Inc is considering former company veteran Brian Duperreault, who heads Hamilton Insurance Group, as its new chief executive, CNBC said, citing a media report.

Former CEO Peter Hancock decided to step down after coming under pressure from shareholders and the insurer's board, following poor financial performance.

Duperreault oversaw the turnaround of Marsh & McLennan Cos Inc after the 2008 financial crisis.

AIG said it does not comment on rumours, when contacted.
