of international issues is invaluable for our business, and we look
forward to continuing working with him.”
“Rhodri’s wealth of experience as a strategic policy adviser and
international diplomat make him uniquely suited to help deepen
AIG’s relationships with our stakeholders and the trust they place
in us,” Ms. Pretto said. “I look forward to his strong leadership
in this important role as we continue to develop programs and
strategies that help advance AIG’s reputation in the communities
where we operate.”
