Frank G. Wisner - Wikipedia

He works as an international-affairs advisor at the firm of Squire Patton Boggs in Washington, DC. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_G._…

In 1976, at the beginning of the Carter administration, he served under Cyrus Vance as Deputy Executive Secretary of the Department of State.

After retiring from government service in 1997, Wisner joined the board at a subsidiary of Enron, the former energy company and served on the board of American International Group (AIG).

AIG was founded December 19, 1919[1] when American Cornelius Vander Starr (1892-1968) established a general insurance agency, American Asiatic Underwriters (AAU), in Shanghai, China.[15] Business grew rapidly, and two years later, Starr formed a life insurance operation.[16] By

the late 1920s, AAU had branches throughout China and Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia.[17] In 1926, Starr opened his first office in the United States, American International Underwriters Corporation (AIU).[18] He also focused on

opportunities in Latin America and, in the late 1930s, AIU entered Havana, Cuba.[19] The steady growth of the Latin American agencies proved significant as it would offset the decline in business from Asia due to the impending World War II.[15] In 1939, Starr moved his

headquarters from Shanghai, China, to New York City. In 1960, C.V. Starr hired Maurice R. Greenberg, known as Hank, to develop an international accident and health business. In 1968, Starr named Hank Greenberg his successor. The company went public in 1969. In 1919 he founded

what was then known as American Asiatic Underwriters (later American International Underwriters) in Shanghai, China, a global insurance and investment organization. He was forced to move his operation to New York in 1939, when Japan invaded China. It has been reported that he

worked for the Office of Strategic Services during World War II while in China,[5] and was the chief operative behind former American air force officer Claire L. Chennault, who orchestrated the OSS-bankrolled American Volunteer Group (better known as the "Flying Tigers") to fight

to drive out the Japanese and return Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to dominance in China. Starr and the OSS later backed Chiang over communist leader Mao Zedong.
