American International Group Plans Atlanta, Georgia, Innovation Hub

11/06/2024
Global insurance company, American International Group, Inc., plans to expand its operations in DeKalb County, Georgia. The project is expected to create more than 600 jobs over the next five years.

The new innovation hub will triple AIG’s current Atlanta-area office space. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2026.

“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.”

Assistant Director of Statewide Projects John Soper represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development's Global Commerce team on the project in partnership with Decide DeKalb, Georgia Power, the Metro Atlanta Chamber, and the University System of Georgia.

“For years, we lost some of our best and brightest talent to out-of-state opportunities. That’s no longer the case,” noted GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “AIG’s office hub is a great example of the type of investment that will keep our well-educated, diverse talent engaged here at home after graduation.”

AIG provides insurance solutions that help businesses and individuals protect their assets and manage risks.

“AIG's expansion is a testament to what we’ve been saying for years: this region was built for business,” added Katie Kirkpatrick, president and CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber. “The new Brookhaven location strengthens AIG’s presence in metro Atlanta and creates new jobs for Georgians as the company builds on its continued success.”
