“I am deeply saddened by Tom Motamed’s recent passing. He served on the AIG board of directors since January 2019 and was a steady presence during a critical part of AIG’s turnaround and transformation,” said Peter Zaffino, chairman & chief executive officer.
“Over the course of his distinguished career at The Chubb Corporation and CNA Financial, Tom made a lasting impression on the insurance industry through his dedication to the agents, brokers, clients, and other partners who benefitted from his insights, expertise, and judgment.”

During his tenure at Chubb, Motamed held various claims management positions, including managing attorney in-house counsel, litigation manager, and national claim audit manager.
Subsequently, he served in the company’s field organization, including the marketing manager, branch manager, and Western Zone officer.
