“I’ve been lucky enough to have both my children as a colleague of American Express. Before taking parental
leave for the first time, I was worried that so much time away from my role would impact my career. That was never even a thought in the mind of my leader or the company and actually resulted in a promotion following my first leave. Fast forward three years and I did not have any hesitation in taking my second leave, I consider myself lucky. During both memorable moments in my life – whether I was cooking meals, cleaning bottles or changing diapers – spending time with my children and my wife, who also works for Amex, is something I will never regret or forget. I created memories that I will forever cherish.”
