Lekan Ikotun

Engineering Director

Lekan is an Engineering Director at American Express in the Travel & Lifestyle Technology organization, where he leads the Lounge Services team responsible for building the digital experiences Card Members use to access the Amex Global Lounge Collection. His role brings together two of his interests, technology and travel, and even gives family trips an occasional element of “product research.” He joined American Express in 2018, spending his earlier years on the Digital Acquisition team before moving into Lounge Services. Based in New York, Lekan lives in Westchester with his wife and two boys. Outside of work, he enjoys exploring new places, spending time with his family, and planning their next adventure.
