JEFFERY BROOKS - DIRECTOR, HELENA
- Mapware Co-Founder and former COO
Warren is a true business leader. I was on the executive committee that interviewed and hired Warren when we were in a critical transition period - we needed to bring on a highly-experienced executive who could bring structure and rigor to our cross-functional SaaS product development teams. Warren was the right person for the job, and I was grateful to work with him. His vision for our product and how we could develop it was the magnetic north for our company, guiding our product roadmap, customer acquisition, and retention.
Warren isn't afraid to dive into the trenches and do the dirty work. He can quickly take the most convoluted product dilemmas and untangle them into clear, concise strategies. He was our very own product whisperer - any organization would be lucky to have him on board.

Warren is an amazing executive leader and product creator. Warren has a vast knowledge of product lifecycle processes and design methodologies that would put many academics to shame. However, he also has a gritty pragmatism that allows him to adapt these methods to real world use. The combination is hard to beat. In addition, Warren is a seasoned manager who understands how to get the best out of creative, talented people. If you are looking for someone who can help your organization fire on all cylinders to build better products, Warren is your man.
I worked with Warren when we were both executives at Mapware, and it really upped my game. I'm grateful for all the lessons I learned from him in the areas of product and software development lifecycle.

If you are looking for an outstanding Program or Product Management leader, look no further than Warren Tessier. Warren brings valuable experience, business acumen, and leadership skills to complex roles which drives product success. That combined with the fact that Warren is an incredible human being with compassion for others has earned him my strong recommendation.
