Sesame Workshop Names Sherrie Westin CEO
Sesame Workshop has named Sherrie Westin its new chief executive officer, shifting from the interim position she was named to by the nonprofit's board of trustees earlier this year.
Carrying on Joan Ganz Cooney’s legacy is both humbling and inspiring, and I’m honored to work with Gaby, the Trustees, and my colleagues to make sure that ‘Sesame Street’ can continue to help children thrive for the next 55 years and beyond.” She joined Sesame Workshop in 1998, and has since held roles across programming, licensing, research, education, and brand strategy, harnessing the power of media to reach children at scale. Westin led a partnership with the International Rescue Committee to bring critical early education to children in the Middle East, which was awarded the MacArthur Foundation’s first ever “100&Change” $100 million grant.
