Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) today announced it was named a 2027 Military Friendly® Employer by VIQTORY, an organization that connects the military community to civilian employment, educational and entrepreneurial opportunities. This is the thirteenth consecutive year Ameriprise has earned the distinction in recognition of its commitment and work to create an inclusive and supportive work environment for military community members.

“We are proud to once again be recognized as a Military Friendly® Employer, reflecting our ongoing commitment to supporting veterans, service members and military families,” said Kelli Hunter Petruzillo, Executive Vice President, Human Resources at Ameriprise. “Military members bring unique experiences, leadership and a mission-focused mindset that enrich our workplace. Their contributions help drive our success and reinforce our commitment to serving clients with excellence every day.”

Each firm is evaluated based on public data sources and survey responses from participating employers. Companies earn their ratings based on a combination of survey scores and an assessment of its ability to meet certain thresholds of veterans and military employees for various categories, including recruitment, new hire retention, employee turnover, and promotion and advancement opportunities.

“Earning the Military Friendly designation is more than a badge – it’s a reflection of deep-rooted values and strategic foresight,” said Kayla Lopez, Vice President of Memberships at Military Friendly®. “These organizations don’t just open doors for veterans, spouses, and service members, they build pathways for lasting impact. Their commitment isn’t performative; it’s transformative. It’s proof that honoring military talent is not only the right thing to do, but it’s the smart thing to do.”

Ameriprise has a long-standing history of supporting veterans. In 2022, the firm partnered with Dalton Education to create a first-to-market Certified Military Financial Advisor™ (CMFA) certification. Advisors who earn the certification are equipped with knowledge and skills to help military members maximize resources and achieve their financial goals with confidence. Ameriprise is also a proud supporter of the US Army Reserve Private Public Partnership, bringing more internships, employment, and education opportunities to Soldiers, their dependents, and veterans. The firm also supports American Corporate Partners1 through grant funding and employees and advisors serving as mentors.
