American Express named President of Strategic Partnerships Glenda McNeal to its Executive Committee this week, making the veteran executive the first Black woman to sit on the Committee.
“Having Glenda’s expertise and experience on the Executive Committee will be a huge asset for us,” American Express Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stephen J. Squeri said in a memo.
During her more 30 years at American Express, McNeal has served in a number of roles across sales and client management, business development, and marketing and strategy.
McNeal was added to the Executive Committee along with Andrés Espinosa, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Credit and Fraud Risk Management and Chief Credit Officer for American Express, and Pierric Beckert, President of Global Network Services.
The executives will “bring to the Executive Committee invaluable knowledge and experience which are particularly relevant for the times we are in,” Squeri said.
