AIG Benefit Solutions, the group benefits division of American International Group, Inc. (AIG), has appointed several industry veterans to fill key leadership roles. The appointments are part of an expansion of the organization, which was created following the merger of the benefits units of American General Life Companies and Chartis Accident & Health — both of which are AIG units — on Jan. 1, 2012.

The new leaders at AIG Benefit Solutions are: Susan Kenney Cotter, head of product; Arthur Drake, head of transformation management; Deanna Osmonson, head of compliance; and Lorena Weaver, head of information technology. In addition, Thomas DeLuca will oversee human resources at AIG Benefit Solutions through his position as vice president, human resources, SunAmerica Financial Group/AIG Benefit Solutions.

Susan Kenney Cotter was previously vice president of Marketing and Products for Colonial Life, a subsidiary of Unum. Cotter worked with Colonial since 2007, during which time she developed a strategy for Colonial's portfolio of disability, life and supplemental health products, and was a champion of a consumer-focused approach.
