DCEO’s November 2024 energy edition
ideas live on. Killed my own story for cause. A reference two years later in a cool journal.
After seeing unusual traffic from Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines regarding this work, I learned that the story was a reference in an academic publication lead Berkeley Haas professors with an elegant solution. It’s a working paper here too. (Research highlighted here as well.)

Thought leadership WITH OTHERS: Across Three decades
My work life began in the Internet pre-1995, a date which apparently marks the Internet’s beginnings. I built my own website in 1996, and never since! From the late 90s onward, I worked between the CEO and executive-level CMO, essentially in a strategy and data analytics role in financial services products and national marketing. The products were complex, expensive and required considerable education to market and sell.
Through R&D efforts, I helped creatively translate findings into product development, business strategy and successful integrated, marketing campaigns. This early thought leadership work was put uniquely into action through 2000-2010 in a large family-owned business that partnered with major insurers such as Allianz, Travelers and others.
From of this knowledge, an evolving white paper that spanned ~20 years, was presented to the largest pension funds in the world. I still own domains specific to the work related to portfolio development. Since then, other domains have been collected. A 2020s iteration of this approach was applied to a client in 2022-24, and an early Internet version from 2003-today has continued to evolve as well.

“I want to take a moment to recognize an invaluable member of the D CEO team. For more than a decade, we have been fortunate to have had Jennifer Warren lead our energy coverage. Jennifer is known not just regionally or nationally but globally for her expertise, which spans energy trends, and their economic and geopolitical implications, and resource sustainability issues.
The energy CEOs we feature love talking with Jennifer because she knows their business—like no other. In recent years, Jennifer has written D CEO features on Scott Sheffield, Trevor Rees Jones, and George Yates. And this year, she wrote a must-read profile of Kelcy Warren. We’re grateful to her and proud to collaborate with her. Here’s more from Jennifer.”

Body of work from D CEO magazine, 2007-present
Since the inception of D CEO, numerous articles related to Dallas-based energy firms, infrastructure giant Fluor, and leaders and trendsetters have been written.
BOOK CHAPTER: “Targeting the Future: Smarter, Cleaner Infrastructure Development Choices” | Climate Change, November 2012
China and India, with their high economic growth trajectories, offer the planet a significant opportunity to reduce carbon emissions provided they invest in climate-smart infrastructure. The globe is also becoming increasingly water stressed. Understanding the energy-water-climate nexus is critical to achieving sustainable development. View chapter
Cover story: “Paving the Path for India's Growth” | Far Eastern Economic Review, March 2008, with co-author Dr. Andrew Chen, distinguished professor of finance
For India's rapid growth to continue, investment in infrastructure would need to double, from 5% of GDP to an estimated 9% by 2012 -- or $500 billion. Utilizing global capital markets and the private sector is the way forward for greater efficiency, transparency, and proper incentives. Incumbent approaches in financing infrastructure have shortcomings that encourage waste, inefficiency, and corruption. India is perfectly poised to leverage a new market-based approach for sustainable infrastructure development to the benefit of its economy, the Indian public, and global investors.
