American International Group (AIG) has appointed John P. Repko as its new Executive Vice President, Chief Information Officer, effective September 4, 2018.
He succeeds Martha Gallo, who is leaving AIG to pursue other interests, and will report to Brian Duperreault, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AIG.
Repko will also serve as a member of AIG’s Executive Leadership Team and will be responsible for the company’s global technology strategy, overseeing core shared infrastructure, technology partnerships, and process engineering efforts.
AIG added that Repko will work closely with its other leaders in support of technology-enabled cross-business collaboration to meet the changing needs of the company’s global clients.
Repko has served as the Global Chief Executive Information Officer at Johnson Controls (JCI) since 2016, having taken up this position following JCI’s merger with Tyco.
He previously served as Senior Vice President, Chief Information Officer and Enterprise Transformation Leader at Tyco from 2012, before which he held chief information officer roles at Covance Inc., SES Global, and General Electric’s GE Americom division.
“John is a results-oriented, versatile business leader with the rare combination of finance and technology expertise,” said Duperreault. “He is a seasoned Chief Information Officer, with a long and successful track record of completing large scale process improvements and technology transformations.
“His experience working collaboratively with business leaders to leverage technology to drive results, while strengthening essential systems at the corporate level, will be invaluable as we continue our progress to deliver sustainable, profitable growth.”
Repko also commented: “The intersection of technology with the data and expertise at AIG to drive business results is a compelling proposition for me. I look forward to collaborating with the company’s talented leaders and global IT team to continue shaping the technology strategy to deliver value across the organization.”
Duperreault continued: “I want to thank Martha Gallo for her work as Chief Information Officer at an important, transitional time for the company. She brought new focus to the global IT organization to align it more closely with the needs of the business and created a strong foundation to take our technology function to the next level.”
