Charles Bouloux, President of AIG MEMSA and Chairman of AIG Takaful, Passes Away at Age 58
It is with great sadness we inform you that Mr. Charles Bouloux, 58, President of AIG MEMSA, passed away on Thursday 26 June 2008, in Dubai. Charles was a caring and loving husband and father and is survived by his wife Maria, his son Jamie, and his daughter Zoe. Charles was an inspiration to us all, providing leadership, friendship and respect felt across the region and the company. His warmth and presence will be missed by all and our deepest sympathies go out to his family.
Mr. Bouloux had spent 30 years with American International Group and most recently as Regional President of AIG’s Middle East, Mediterranean and South Asia General Insurance operations, and Chairman of AIG Takaful Enaya. Mr. Bouloux’s dedication and leadership resulted in the foundation of a number of AIG businesses, including AIG reinsurance operations in Belgium, TATA AIG operations in India and the launch of AIG Takaful Enaya in the Middle East. His vision and compassion will be greatly missed.
I bet you know my next question already... was our tax dollars stolen or involved in a terrorist operation?
Adding your post no. 24.

I have absolutely no idea.
I’m a housewife.
Our family pays taxes (on time) and pays
our bills (on time).
My expertise (if one calls it that) consists of homemaking, gardening,
and browsing the internet.
