Ken Chenault, CEO of American Express

KenChenault
Whenever I see a black man or woman doing great things, I try to highlight it. I had no idea until today when I was watching t.v. that the CEO of American Express is a black man. However, that is important enough that I need to mention it.

American Express CEO Ken Chenault is one of the few Wall Street chiefs who have come through the financial meltdown and recession looking good.

American Express has remained profitable through it all, and this summer it completely repaid its TARP funds — earning the U.S. Treasury a 26% annualized return on its brief investment. The company recently reinstated its contributions to employee 401(k) accounts and rescinded a pay freeze imposed last year.

    It’s nice to see black intelligent men leading successful companies. All of our black men aren’t running the streets and making babies. Job well done Ken Chenault!!!
