Rebuilding Remotely

“People criticize me for being on vacation. I actually started work a week before I was actually supposed to. I do have conference calls every day, I have all my information sent here. I can work here as well as in the office in New York.”

—Robert Benmosche, newly tapped CEO of AIG, speaking to a reporter while on vacation in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Benmosche, 65, previously the CEO of MetLife Inc., came out of retirement to become AIG’s CEO on Aug. 10.
