Chen is a financial-services executive and adviser whose work has included product strategy, growth and risk management. She previously held managing-director roles at JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, and served in senior leadership roles at American Express, where her work included fraud and credit-risk strategy as well as financial-product development.
In addition to her professional background, Chen serves on the board of Purple Swans, a New Jersey nonprofit focused on cultural exchange and community impact. The Mental Health Association said she has also been a liaison in its collaboration with Purple Swans on mental-health awareness and training initiatives.
Carolyn Beauchamp, president and chief executive officer of the Mental Health Association in New Jersey, said Chen’s leadership and connection to the organization’s work will be valuable as MHANJ expands its reach. Chen joins the board as the organization continues its statewide efforts to connect people and families with information, support and services.
MHANJ is headquartered in Springfield and works throughout New Jersey on mental-health and substance-use-disorder advocacy, education, training and direct services. More information about the organization is available at mhanj.org.
