Gaby Sulzberger has been elected as the new chair of the board of trustees at Sesame Workshop, effective November 2023.<\/p>\n

Sulzberger has been on Sesame Workshop\u2019s board of trustees since 2019. She\u00a0will be the first African American woman to chair the Sesame Workshop board.<\/p>\n

A seasoned financial executive who has spent the majority of her career in social impact investing, Sulzberger currently serves as a senior advisor at Two Sigma and Centerbridge Partners, is a trustee of the Ford Foundation and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and serves on the boards of MasterCard, Eli Lilly and Warby Parker.<\/p>\n

She succeeds the current Board Chair Frans Hijkoop, who joined the board in 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled that Gaby has graciously committed to leading Sesame Workshop\u2019s Board at a time when our mission is needed more than ever,\u201d said Steve Youngwood, CEO of Sesame Workshop. \u201cWith her vast and varied experience across the worlds of nonprofit organizations, both public and private companies, and our own Board, Gaby brings a wealth of knowledge, strong leadership, and incisive strategic thinking to the role. We look forward to working closely with her as the Workshop moves into our next exciting chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to take on this new role while also quite humbled by Sesame Workshop\u2019s exceptional legacy built by the leaders who have come before me,\u201d Sulzberger added. \u201cWe have such an extraordinary opportunity ahead of us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children around the world. I am grateful to follow the strong leadership of Chair Hijkoop and honored to do my part to continue the legacy of Sesame Workshop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a real privilege to serve as Sesame Workshop\u2019s board chair. We have a talented leadership team and a remarkable group of experienced, dedicated trustees,\u201d said Hijkoop. \u201cI look forward to working with Gaby during the transition and take great comfort knowing that board leadership is in good hands.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
