Tess Warner, MBA

Tess is passionate about helping the veterinary community achieve balance between good business practices, top-notch patient care, and personal wellbeing.

 

​She has worked in a variety of roles throughout multiple industries: Certified Pharmacy Technician, dog trainer for obedience and casual agility, assistant manager in a general practice veterinary clinic, leader of a statewide practice manager organization, general manager of a specialty clinic devoted to canine rehabilitation, contracts professional for a government supply chain/aerospace organization, and manager of a fully-remote veterinary specialty consulting team. Currently, in addition to supporting Flourish, she acts as an operational and management consultant for several smaller veterinary organizations across the US.
