This summer has kicked off with news of general counsel career moves at some prominent organizations (see here, here and here). The latest announcement came Monday from New York-based American Express Company, which hired accomplished in-house attorney Laureen Seeger as its general counsel. At the end of June, Seeger will be leaving her job at another big business, McKesson Corporation, the largest health-care services company in North America.
“Like McKesson, American Express is guided by a deep set of values, starting with a fundamental commitment to making a positive difference in people’s lives through its products and services,” Seeger said in a statement. “I look forward to helping American Express realize its vision to become the world’s most respected service brand in my capacity as general counsel.”
