Douglas A. Dachille, chief executive officer of New York City-based First Principles Capital Management, LLC, will become executive vice president and chief investment officer of AIG, succeeding William N. Dooley, who is retiring.

Dachille will report to Peter D. Hancock, president and CEO of AIG, and will join AIG’s Operating Committee.
