For senior executives
Executive advisory from Celeste Warren is a confidential thought partnership for executives navigating complex leadership, culture, talent, and organizational challenges, grounded in 28 years inside a Fortune 100 company.
Last updated: November 2026
An executive advisor gives a senior leader a confidential, experienced partner to think through decisions that are too sensitive or complex to work out alone.
With CRW Diversity, that partner is Celeste Warren, a former Fortune 100 Vice President and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. The work examines both how you lead and how your organization operates, using the Equity in Action Model to test decisions about people, culture, and talent before and after you make them.
Celeste Warren spent nearly three decades inside a Fortune 100 company, including a decade as Vice President and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. She worked with executives, managers, and teams around the world on complex issues involving people, leadership, culture, and organizational change.
She has sat where you sit. That shapes the advice: practical solutions, not buzzwords or performative approaches.
Advisory is not a packaged curriculum. Every organization is different, so the work begins by understanding where you are, what you are trying to accomplish, and what may be standing in the way.
It is confidential, it is one to one or with a small senior team, and it centers on your real decisions as they happen.
How you and your senior team make the decisions that shape people's experience at work.
The unwritten norms and everyday practices that define what it really takes to succeed.
Who has access to opportunity, sponsorship, and stretch roles, and whose potential is being missed.
Whether your policies and practices enable progress or quietly restrict it.
