I'm so thrilled that Kenneth Chenault is joining Facebook's Board of Directors. I've been lucky to get to know Ken in his professional life as American Express CEO and as an advocate for equality in the workplace. Ken brings the highest level of integrity to everything he does – and is an inspiring leader for so many of us.
Under his leadership, American Express reached record numbers of new customers and became a leader in customer service. As a Facebook client, Ken always g...ave honest feedback and pushed us to do better.
I deeply admire Ken on a personal level too. Lots of times over the years when I had hard questions and didn’t know what to do, Ken was the person I called. He took those calls every single time and gave me great advice that I still remember.
Ken, I can't wait to work alongside you and continue to learn from you. You will help make Facebook a better company for our entire community. Welcome!
