Total copies: 1
Legendary CEO Robert Benmosche's astonishing memoir, detailing how he pulled AIG back from the brink of bankruptcy and engineered one of history's most remarkable corporate turnarounds. In 2009, at the peak of the financial crisis, AIG - the American insurance behemoth - was sinking fast. It was the peg upon which the nation hung its ire and resentment during the financial crisis: the pinnacle of Wall Street arrogance and greed. When Bob Benmosche climbed aboard as CEO, it was widely assumed that he would go down with his ship. In mere months, he turned things around, pulling AIG from the brink of financial collapse and restoring its profitability. Before three years were up, AIG had fully repaid its staggering debt to the U.S. government with interest. 'Good for the Money' is an unyielding leader's memoir of a career spent fixing companies through thoughtful, unconventional strategy.
