Chandler Warren

Program & Business Manager
I’m a strategy‑minded operator who thrives at the intersection of product, technology, and execution. My career has been built on bringing structure to complexity — whether that’s leading global product planning at HP, driving operational integration at Hightower Advisors, or managing large‑scale technology programs at PwC.

Across every role, I’m known for my analytical rigor, systematic thinking, and ability to turn ambiguity into clear, actionable plans. I’m energized by solving hard problems, optimizing processes, and aligning cross‑functional teams around a shared strategy. When I believe in a mission, I invest deeply — bringing discipline, curiosity, and a behind‑the‑scenes leadership style that moves work forward without needing the spotlight.

My background spans product strategy, international business, operational excellence, and technology consulting, supported by dual master’s degrees (MBA from Rice and MIB from The Fletcher School). I’ve led initiatives touching product development, customer insights, complexity reduction, vendor management, compliance, and global program execution.

I do my best work in roles where precision matters, where thoughtful decision‑making is valued, and where I can help strong leaders and teams operate at their highest level. I’m especially drawn to opportunities in product strategy, BizOps, strategic operations, program management, and corporate strategy — environments where structured thinking and cross‑functional influence create real impact.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about global affairs, travel, fitness, and spending time with my Labrador Retriever.

If you’re building something meaningful and need someone who can bring clarity, structure, and strategic execution to complex challenges, I’d love to connect.
