(Bloomberg) — Robert Benmosche is stepping down as American International Group Inc.'s chief executive officer this weekend after a five-year tenure in which he repaid the insurer's U.S. bailout and battled cancer.
Below is a timeline of noteworthy events in a career at New York-based AIG marked by clashes with the board and public officials, asset sales and a share rebound that beat the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Aug. 3, 2009: AIG says Benmosche, the former leader of MetLife Inc., will come out of retirement to run the company. He replaces Edward Liddy who took over in 2008 when AIG got a U.S. rescue that swelled to $182.3 billion. Shares close at $11.39.
