AIG senior executive departs after alleged anti-Semitic posts surface
John Gillick, a long-time AIG Ireland marketing head, is no longer employed by the insurer following accusations that his X account posted anti-Semitic messages.
A senior AIG Ireland executive, John Gillick, who managed consumer marketing and sponsorship for over 20 years, has left the company after his X account was accused of publishing anti-Semitic content. The posts called Jews "human scum" and urged that they be expelled from Ireland. Gillick asserted the messages were the result of an unauthorized breach, reported the matter to An Garda Síochána, and removed the offending tweets.
AIG opened an internal investigation and issued a statement that the posts were fraudulently posted. In an email to the Jewish Representative Council of Ireland, CEO Eric Anderson confirmed Gillick’s exit and reiterated the firm’s commitment to supporting the police inquiry. The council’s chair, Orli Degani, welcomed the investigation and stressed the broader significance for the Irish Jewish community.
