The Columbus Citizens Foundation (CCF) honored Stephen Squeri ’81, group president of global services at American Express, at New York City’s Columbus Day Parade on Oct. 10. More than 1 million spectators lined up Fifth Avenue to watch the parade, which celebrates the spirit of exploration and courage that inspired Christopher Columbus’ 1492 expedition and the important contributions Italian-Americans have made to the United States. At American Express, Squeri is responsible for overseeing global customer service, global technologies, global credit administration and global business services. The CCF chose to honor Squeri because of his dedication to the foundation and his philanthropic work. He is active at the College, including
serving on the De La Salle Dinner committee, and on the board of trustees of the Harlem Children’s Zone. “Being selected as a business honoree by the Columbus Citizens Foundation and being honored at the gala and marching in the parade was a thrill for not only me but my family,” he says. “I will never forget the overwhelming feeling of pride that I had marching up Fifth Avenue with my daughters and dad as we celebrated our Italian heritage and culture. It was a time to reflect on my grandparents’ determination and courage in coming to America in pursuit of the American dream.” He is pictured with his daughters, Marissa and Monica. His father, Joseph Squeri ’54, was in the passenger seat, too.
