About the Author

As the author of Fallen Giant: The Amazing Story of Hank Greenberg and the History of AIG, Ron Shelp is perhaps the leading expert on “the company America loves to hate.” Over the past few years, he has spoken to business groups throughout the U.S. and Europe about AIG’s role in the global financial meltdown and the subsequent twists and turns that have kept the company in the headlines. Shelp’s media appearances have included CNN, BBC, CNBC, Fox, and NPR; while his March 4th Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal was the most emailed article on the site. 

Shelp held a number of senior positions at AIG, including acting as a global troubleshooter dealing with issues ranging from AIG’s re-entry into China, the Iranian revolution, and nationalization in India. He later served as President and CEO of both the New York City Partnership (now The Partnership for New York City) and the New York Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Today, Ron Shelp works as an entrepreneur and continues to offer invaluable solutions to the problems leaders and managers at all levels face today. He blogs regularly about AIG and is a favorite resource for journalists looking for insights.
