Seven alumni have been elected to serve on the 2024-25 Board of Trustees, the University announced Friday, June 28. With seven other trustees having completed their terms on June 30, the size of the Board remains at 37 members.
Bob Peck ’88 and Anthony Yoseloff ’96 will be returning to the Board having completed their terms in 2023, while Aisha Chebbi ’24, Ann Chen ’89, Anthony Romero ’87, Sarah Marie Michelle Bruno GS ’21, and Edward Felsenthal ’88 were elected to the Board for the first time.
The seven trustees who recently completed their terms are Jackson Artis ’20, Pete Briger ’86, Janeria Easley GS ’16, Henri Ford ’80, Philip U. Hammarskjold ’87, Carla Vernón ’92, and Melissa Wu ’99.
Members of the Board are not required to have graduated from the University, however, with the exception of ex officio member Gov. Phil Murphy, all current trustees are alumni.
The board elected Bob Peck ’88 and Anthony Yoseloff ’96 to serve six-year terms as Charter Trustees. According to the Office of the President, if re-elected, Charter Trustees have the opportunity to serve an “additional, contiguous two-year term.”
Peck, the managing director of private investment firm FPR Partners, previously served on the Board as Term Trustee from 2019–23. The first in his family to attend college, Peck graduated with an A.B. in History and funded an initiative to provide opportunities for first-generation and low-income Princeton students such as life sciences and engineering courses in Princeton’s Freshman Scholars Institute (FSI). In addition, he is currently the Chair of the Princeton University Investment Company (PRINCO) Board of Directors.
Yoseloff is also a member of the PRINCO Board of Directors, and similarly served as Term Trustee from 2019–23. He received an A.B. from the School of Public and International Affairs and is currently management partner and chief investment officer of Davidson Kempner Capital Management. He is also a member of various nonprofit boards. In 2011, Yoseloff and his wife Nanar made a gift to name Yoseloff Hall, one of five dormitories in Butler College.
Having previously served as trustees, Peck and Yoseloff were eligible to serve as Charter Trustees as it had been one year since the conclusion of their previous term.
Ann Chen ’89 and Anthony Romero ’87 were elected by the board to serve four-year terms as Term Trustees.
Chen, a former partner at Bain & Company, earned her B.S.E. in computer science and is now an independent nonprofit consultant based in the Bay Area.

He received an A.B. from the School of Public and International Affairs and was awarded the Woodrow Wilson Award in 2019. In August 2023, Romero spoke at an orientation event for first-year students, reflecting on his career and urging members of the Class of 2027 to engage in discourse and free expression.
