AIG replaces chief information officer

American International Group (AIG) has hired John Repko as executive vice president, chief information officer (CIO), succeeding Martha Gallo who is leaving AIG to pursue other interests.

Repko will report to Brian Duperreault, AIG president and chief executive officer, and serve as a member of AIG’s executive leadership team. He will be responsible for AIG’s global technology strategy, overseeing core shared infrastructure, technology partnerships and process engineering efforts. He will work closely with AIG’s leaders in support of technology-enabled cross-business collaboration to meet the changing needs of the company’s global clients.

Repko is joining AIG from Johnson Controls (JCI), where he served as the global chief information officer since 2016, taking up this position with the merger of JCI and Tyco. He previously served as senior vice president, chief information officer and enterprise transformation leader at Tyco from 2012.

“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.”

“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.” Duperreault added.

Repko 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.”
