American International Group, Inc. (AIG) is in the market for a new chief financial officer (CFO), having appointed its current CFO to a new post.

AIG announced that Steven J. Bensinger, currently CFO and executive vice president, is now vice chairman of Financial Services. In his new role, Bensinger will be responsible for operations across AIG’s Financial Services businesses, which specialize in aircraft and equipment leasing, capital markets, consumer finance and insurance premium finance.

William N. Dooley, senior vice president of Financial Services, will continue to focus on AIG’s Financial Services businesses in his current position, reporting to Bensinger. Dooley will also continue as interim head of AIG Financial Products Corp. (AIGFP) until a successor is named.
