Anastasia D. Kelly is the American International Group's (AIG) executive vice president, general counsel, and senior regulatory and compliance officer. She supervises 550 and lawyers around the world.

Between 2003 and 2006, Kelly served as Executive Vice President and General Counsel of MCI during its bankruptcy proceedings. She also worked for Sears, Roebuck and Co., and Fannie Mae.

Kelly received her B.A. from Trinity College, Washington, and her J.D. from George Washington University Law Center.

She has been involved with a significant amount of non-profit and committee work throughout her career.

She was born and raised in Boston, the daughter of an Irish Catholic policeman who "instilled in her the love of the law and maybe a bit of the Blarney, too," and was encouraged by both parents to get the highest level of education possible.

Her family on her father's side is from Co. Meath, where her cousins still live, and her mother's side hails from Co. Cork.

She and her husband Tom are the very proud parents of twin boys, who just graduated from high school and are off to college (UVA and Davidson).
