Amex GBT nears sale to General Catalyst–backed Long Lake fund

American Express Global Business Travel is nearing a sale to Long Lake, a fund backed by General Catalyst and Alpha Wave, according to Bloomberg reporting. The transaction would exit Amex's corporate-travel unit at a time when travel-management software is increasingly bundled with AI-powered expense and itinerary optimization.

The deal reflects consolidation among travel-tech platforms as private capital targets the B2B services layer of enterprise operations. Financial terms have not been disclosed.
