Governor Brian P. Kemp has announced that American International Group, Inc. (AIG) will establish a new innovation hub in DeKalb County, Georgia. This expansion is set to triple AIG's current office space in the Atlanta area and create over 600 new jobs within five years.

"Again and again, job creators are choosing the No. 1 state for business not just for first-time investment, but for expansion as well," stated Governor Kemp. He emphasized that AIG's decision reflects Georgia's attractiveness for business growth and expressed gratitude to local and state partners involved in the project.

AIG operates globally across more than 190 countries and jurisdictions, offering insurance solutions to protect assets and manage risks. The planned Atlanta hub will open in 2026 as a collaborative workspace aimed at developing digital capabilities for clients and partners.

Peter Zaffino, Chairman & CEO of AIG, highlighted the company's longstanding presence in Atlanta's business community. "We look forward to creating more than 600 high-quality jobs that will provide rewarding opportunities for the talented and skilled local workforce," he said.

The company plans to hire across various roles including underwriting, claims, operations, data engineering, and AI. More information about careers with AIG can be found on their website.

DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond praised the region's reputation for economic growth: "Known for its highly regarded universities, hospitals, and healthcare industry... we are delighted that AIG will bring additional business investment and employment opportunities to our county."

Brookhaven Mayor John Park commented on the suitability of AIG's expansion: "The quality of a company like AIG... is a perfect fit for Brookhaven’s Perimeter Summit."

Katie Kirkpatrick from the Metro Atlanta Chamber remarked on the significance of this development: "The new Brookhaven location strengthens AIG’s presence in metro Atlanta and creates new jobs for Georgians."

GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson noted that such investments help retain local talent: "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."
