Business Wire
The following announcement is based on an internal note to
American Express (NYSE: AXP) employees from Stephen J. Squeri,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer:
I am very pleased to announce that Monique Herena will be
joining American Express as our new Chief Human Resources
Officer (CHRO), effective April 1. Monique will report to me
and become a member of our Executive Committee. In addition, I
expect she will be elected an officer of the company by our Board
of Directors when she officially joins us. As CHRO, Monique will be
responsible for all aspects of our human resources strategy,
including talent management, leadership development and
compensation and benefits, as well as leading all human resources
functions globally. She will work closely with the Executive
Committee and me to ensure we continue to build a culture that
attracts, retains and develops the best team.
Monique joins us from BNY Mellon, where she was CHRO and Senior
Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Marketing and
Communications since 2014. While there, she worked closely with the
CEO and senior management team to lead the development and
execution of a business and culture transformation strategy that
has made the bank more competitive in the market for talent. Prior
to BNY Mellon, Monique was at PepsiCo for 13 years where she served
in a number of increasingly senior HR leadership roles, including
assignments in Dubai and Chicago, as well as in their Purchase, NY
headquarters. Her career also included several years at both
Honeywell and The Quaker Oats Company, where she held leadership
roles in a wide range of HR disciplines. Monique succeeds Kevin
Cox, who recently left the company. Kevin’s former direct reports
will now report to her.
Monique devotes a good deal of her time outside of work as a
coach and mentor to other HR professionals who seek to develop
successful careers in Human Resources. She graduated from
University of Wisconsin - Parkside in 1993 with a B.A. in
Communications and holds two Masters of Arts degrees, one in
Communications Studies from Northern Illinois University and one in
Organization Psychology and Change Leadership from Columbia
University. Monique sits on both the Executive Committee and the
Board of Directors of the Human Resources Policy Association, a
leading professional organization. She is also a Board member of
the Girl Scouts of Greater New York and co-leads their Strategic
Development Committee.
We have an outstanding Human Resources team whose energy,
commitment and creativity are helping us demonstrate how we have
our colleagues’ backs by delivering on the commitments in our
Colleague Value Proposition. I especially want to thank Robert
Childs and David Kasiarz for leading the group following Kevin’s
departure, as well as the entire team for their continued
dedication and support. Monique’s experience and her demonstrated
track record in leading with an enterprise first mindset, along
with her integrity and candor, make her a great fit for us. I know
she will be a terrific leader for our team as we work together to
bring our Framework for Winning to life across the company.
Please join me in welcoming Monique to American Express.
