Warren was a highly valued member of the Corporate Finance Team of Pitcher Partners in Melbourne.  After stints at Big 4 Accounting firms and boutique Insolvency Practices, Warren found his home at Pitcher Partners, specialising in M&A Advisory and Financial Due Diligence engagements.  Warren was respected by his clients and peers alike, for his technical acumen and strong work ethic.  He was a patient mentor to junior staff and a well connected Director into all divisions within the firm.

Warren was a keen cyclist and could often be seen in the early hours of the morning of Studley Park or Beach Road.  He was an avid animal lover and had a dry sense of humour that would often leave his family, friends and colleagues in hysterics.  He loved to travel, spending countless trips overseas with his partner Em and he was a doting father to two beautiful children, Oliver and Amelia.

Unfortunately Warren was diagnosed and later succumbed to motor neurone disease (MND). Warren faced this challenge head on and spear-headed numerous initiatives to raise money for Fight MND.  In typical Warren style, he attacked this fight with raw honesty and looked for any angle he could find to bring humour to an otherwise devastating situation.

Warren is missed by all that knew him and he would be so proud to lend his name to this most worthy scholarship.
