Jonathan Tepperman is the new vice president, International Program, of Carnegie Corporation of New York. A foreign policy expert who has helped lead some of the country’s most influential publications, Tepperman will oversee the foundation’s International Program focused on international peace and security.
Tepperman will develop and implement strategic grantmaking with an annual budget of more than $70 million. Carnegie currently funds in the areas of preventing and managing conflict, the effects of mass migration, and the growing impact of non-state actors.
Tepperman most recently was a senior fellow with the George W. Bush Institute, following roles as editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy, managing editor of Foreign Affairs, and deputy editor of Newsweek’s international editions.
“Carnegie Corporation of New York is an institution that I have long admired for its vital contributions to peacebuilding and conflict prevention,” said Tepperman via a statement. “I’m thrilled to be joining the organization during these turbulent times for international relations, and I am profoundly grateful to Dame Louise and her stellar team for giving me the chance to help shape its next chapter.”
