About Ken Warren

I am a results-driven Program and IT Transformation Executive with over 20 years of experience leading large-scale digital initiatives, enterprise infrastructure programs, and strategic cross-functional execution in the financial services sector. With deep expertise in aligning IT strategy with business priorities, I thrive in complex, regulated environments that demand innovation, operational efficiency, and stakeholder collaboration. Throughout my career at BNY Pershing, I have successfully delivered enterprise infrastructure initiatives and spearheaded technology refresh, migrating 300+ applications to a state-of-the-art data center—enhancing cybersecurity, resilience, and business continuity. As Transformation Executive Lead, I orchestrated the firm’s Technology Strategy Execution (TSE), optimizing performance through Agile and SAFe practices while bridging teams across engineering, architecture, and production services. In my prior leadership roles, I established Pershing’s first Business Continuity Program, led multi-year data center migrations, and directed platform upgrades—including NetX360+—by managing cross-functional teams across Product, Marketing, UX, and IT. I’ve driven firmwide divestment and application consolidation programs, automated change reporting, and supported operational model transitions to streamline delivery across the enterprise. I bring a balanced perspective of business acumen and technical execution, grounded in certifications including PMP, ITIL, SAFe, and CCNA. My passion lies in delivering impactful transformation, mitigating risk, and elevating enterprise technology performance through strategic leadership, agile execution, and strong stakeholder alignment.
