Celebrating the Presidency of Jessica T. Mathews

In February 2015, Jessica T. Mathews stepped down as president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace after 18 years. A gala dinner was held in her honor to celebrate her achievements at the National Portrait Gallery. At the gala dinner, peers and foreign policy officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry, paid tribute to her.

“In the light of her extraordinary achievements, I know that our great-grandfather would be extremely proud.”

– Lucy Eisenberg

“Her presidency has been an extraordinary success story, plain and simple.”

– Greg Craig

“She has pioneered a new model for nongovernmental institutions in the era of globalization.”

– Judith Rodin

“I will keep emulating Jessica in the hope that someday I may succeed.”

– Rose Gottemoeller

“Today, Carnegie has unprecedented global reach, political impact, and peer standing.”

– Jon Huntsman

“You’ve managed to weigh in intelligently on so many issues, from politics to foreign policy to security affairs, while keeping the Carnegie Endowment the most thoughtful of think tanks.”

– Nicholas Kristof

“She is the Nike ad: Just do it! Colleagues and staff quickly know where they stand if they imagine too many obstacles or are slow to get on with it.”

– Robert Legvold

“Knowing Jessica is a very good way to learn to think better.”

– Larry Gold

“I admire her strong moral compass, her intolerance for avoiding difficult issues, and her clarity about basic human values.”

Jessica Mathews was appointed president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in 1997. Under her stewardship, Carnegie launched a revolutionary plan in 2006 to build the first global think tank. Since then Carnegie has transformed from an American institution into one well positioned to take on the challenges of a globalized world.
