American Express announced that Merchant Services Americas president Kim Goodman at year-end would replace the retiring Charles Petruccelli as president of American Express Global Business Travel.

Capping his 36 years with the company, Amex said Petruccelli "led the Global Business Travel division for 10 years through momentous change and turmoil for the industry," during which he "globalized the business travel division, redefined its business model, successfully integrated Rosenbluth International and created industry-leading joint ventures in China, Japan, Italy and Spain." A former Dell executive, Goodman will report to Bill Glenn, who was named president for Global Corporate Payments and Business Travel. Glenn has led the Global Merchant Services Business for the past four years.
