About Christopher van Buren

My professional focus has been assisting senior executives and boards in identifying and capitalizing on opportunities for success through the deliberate assumption of risk. I have extensive C-suite experience, having held chief risk officer positions in prominent financial services organizations such as TIAA, a Fortune 100 retirement services and asset management firm, and Edward Jones, a Fortune 500 wealth management partnership. My four-decade career encompasses a diverse range of leadership and management roles, including managing departments of over a hundred individuals. Additionally, I have a quantitative background, having earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in electrical engineering and computer science.

The Princeton-Blairstown Center (PBC) is an outdoor education center that serves young people, primarily from historically marginalized communities, by nurturing their social-emotional skills through experiential, environmental, and adventure-based programming. Developing these skills enables our participants to engage in self-discovery and transform their communities to create a more just world. We collaborate with schools, university partners, and community-based agencies to develop in youth deepened self-awareness, responsible decision-making, teamwork, and leadership skills. Our educational methodology combines critical thinking skills, experiential education facilitating Social Emotional Learning, and practical applications in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Our wide variety of year-round, multi-service programs serve over students from the Mid-Atlantic states. Many of these students daily confront the challenges and risk factors of urban poverty. Throughout our efforts, we are committed to sustainability, including using renewable energy and conserving resources.
