AIG poaches JPMorgan Chase CTO

American International Group (AIG) has appointed Hugh Tamassia as chief enterprise architect, effective October 3.

Reporting to Philip Fasano, executive vice president and chief information officer, Tamassia will be responsible for designing and enterprise architecture to drive AIG’s IT priorities and company-wide strategic plan.

Tamassia joins AIG after a 13-year career at JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPMC), having most recently served as chief technology officer (CTO) for consumer and community banking servicing technology.

As CTO, he was responsible for overseeing management, development, and strategic investment across the core servicing and lending platforms for consumer operations.

Prior to this, Tamassia served as chief architect for Chase Consumer and Community Banking.

“Modernising AIG’s technological infrastructure by establishing a consistent architecture across the company will advance our employees’ capabilities to serve customers and represent progress toward becoming a leaner, more profitable and focused insurer,” said Fasano.

“Hugh is strongly suited to deliver on this task with an eye on long-term innovation, with his experience leading both extensive enterprise architecture efforts and key IT innovation initiatives within financial services, such as the foundational platforms that support some of the world’s most widely used mobile wallet applications.”
