American Express Co. (AXP) announced Tuesday that its Chief Financial Officer, Daniel Henry, will be leaving the company after a 23-year career with it and is planning for a retirement that involves continuing roles on a number of corporate and nonprofit boards.
American Express stated that Daniel, who turns 64 this year, will be helping the company with the search and will continue as Chief Financial Officer until it has his successor in place.
Dan has held a number of senior leadership positions in the finance organization and served as CFO of American Express since 2007.
Prior to becoming CFO, Dan led the finance team that supported what was then the company's U.S. Consumer, Small Business and Merchant Services Group. Before that, he served for ten years as the corporate Comptroller and oversaw capital allocation strategy during a pivotal time as American Express moved away from a broad financial services model to focus on the payments related businesses that define the company today. Dan joined American Express in 1990 from the accounting firm of Ernst & Young, where he had been a partner.
