American Express

In May, we celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the U.S. and Asian Heritage Month in Canada—an opportunity to recognize the rich cultures, achievements, and contributions of Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and Canadians of Asian heritage. At American Express together with our Asian Colleague Network, we’re proud to highlight the unique perspectives and experiences of our colleagues across the company. Throughout the month, we’re hosting events and programming that foster learning and connection for #TeamAmex.   These moments play an important role in our ongoing commitment to creating a culture where all colleagues feel seen, respected, and supported. I’m looking forward to engaging with our colleagues and continuing to learn together.

We’re honored to be recognized with the Business Group on Health’s Best Employers Award: Excellence in Health and Well-being for the 14th time. The achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to backing our #TeamAmex colleagues with benefits that support their holistic well-being – their physical, financial and mental health so they can be and deliver their best every day.

In celebration of our 175th anniversary this year, we’re sitting down with our resident archivist, Ira, every month to explore a key milestone in Amex history. Ira is an avid fan of baseball history — as a kid, he even kept score at baseball games with his own scorebook and collected baseball cards. So imagine his excitement when he learned American Express used to have its own baseball teams. Watch below and then take a deeper dive into how American Express’ baseball teams came to be here: https://go.amex/2TVwGt

Today, American Express reported its first-quarter 2025 financial results, delivering strong revenue of $17.0 billion, up 7%, and EPS of $3.64, an increase of 9% over the prior year.

Hot sauce runs through Maritza Abreu’s veins.  Her parents, who emigrated from the Dominican Republic in the 1970s, opened one of New York City’s oldest Dominican restaurants: Puerto Viejo, where they’ve served their family recipe — a smoky hot sauce — alongside homemade empanadas and sizzling platters of churrasco for decades. After a fire destroyed it in 2011, Abreu decided to bottle up her family’s hot sauce for loyal customers. Pisqueya was born.
