Mike Warren’s career has centered in the corporate world whether it was a lawyer at Bradley Arrant Rose & White or as CEO of Energen Corporation. It all changed in January 2008 when he took over as president and CEO of Children’s Health System. Warren made the move from the world of a major corporate utility to one of the country’s top-ten not-for-profit pediatric healthcare systems. The industries couldn’t be any different, but as Warren says he didn’t know anything about utilities and gas exploration either when he joined Alagasco/Energen.

Warren will share experiences from his years at Energen and the lessons learned in his first 10 months on the job at Children’s. Warren’s personal stories and insights will provide a glimpse at his idea of the management and communication skills that are transferable to any industry.
