Miami-based Palantir Technologies<\/a> announced today that AIG\u2019s Executiive Chairman and former CEO will lead financial services business globally.<\/p>\n

Peter Zaffino, who was AIG CEO from 2021 until June 1 of this year, will step down from AIG on Sept. 15 and will join Palantir Jan. 15, 2027, as Global Head of Financial Services. He served as CEO from 2021 to June 1 of this year.<\/p>\n

In his new role, Zaffino [pictured above] will drive growth across Palantir\u2019s financial services business, including insurance companies, banks, asset managers, private equity firms, and other financial institutions. Zaffino, who brings more than 30 years of leadership across global financial services and insurance, has served as chief executive across three different organizations and has built a reputation as one of the industry\u2019s most formidable operators and transformation executives, Palantir said in its announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeter has spent his career challenging inertia and rejecting incrementalism within large enterprises. We partnered to deploy our products to create actual alpha within one of the most interesting and complex institutions in the world. We are fortunate that he is joining us,\u201d said Karp, Palantir\u2019s CEO, in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe organizations that will lead in the future are those that are building durable AI infrastructure today,\u201d added Zaffino. \u201cI am incredibly excited to work with financial services organizations to transform their AI strategy into strategic advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2003 by Alex Karp,\u00a0Peter Thiel<\/a>\u00a0and others, Palantir moved to Denver in 2020, the same year it also went public on the NYSE. Then in February of this year, Palantir announced it was relocating its HQ\u00a0 to Miami<\/a>, and worked in a co-working center in Aventura before moving to the Magic City. Palantir\u00a0builds software used by defense agencies, intelligence teams, and large enterprises. Its \u00a0AI-powered platforms help organizations make decisions with massive, complex datasets, the kind tied to national security, logistics, and industrial operations.<\/p>\n

To be sure, the\u00a0company relocations<\/a>\u00a0have been growing in Miami and the Sunshine State.\u00a0Refresh Miami reported<\/a>\u00a0in January that Palantir\u2019s co-founder and chairman, Peter Thiel, recently relocated his own investment firm, Thiel Capital, to Wynwood and also has a Miami residence. Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin, who moved his company from Chicago to Miami, and fellow billionaire Stephen Ross, who moved to Palm Beach County from New York, recently put $10 million into a new initiative by the Florida Council of 100 called\u00a0Ambition Accelerated<\/a>, with the aim of encouraging more CEOs and their companies to move to Florida.<\/p>\n
