About Justin Warnaar
For over 20 years, I\'ve had the privilege of leading teams in the challenging and rewarding fields of global logistics and aviation. As a military pilot with worldwide transportation and combat experience, I\'ve learned firsthand the importance of staying calm under pressure and making decisive choices. I am a humble and transformative leader; an aviation expert and C-17 evaluator/instructor pilot with a unique blend of strategic, operational, and global experience, including commanding combat missions and navigating diverse cultural landscapes as a political-military strategist and senior aviation advisor. I enjoy building and mentoring high-performing teams, fostering a TRUE culture Trust, Resolute, Understanding, and Excellence I am known for a proven track record that encompasses managing complex sustainment and logistics operations, optimizing processes, and achieving critical objectives in demanding environments. Today, I bring that same mindset to my role as Chief of the Global Operational Sustainment Division at U.S. Transportation Command, where I focus on leveraging innovative strategies to solve complex operational challenges. I am dedicated to mentoring rising talent and fostering an environment of fulfillment where diverse perspectives can thrive.My professional journey has been shaped by contrasting environments, from a small Canadian mountain town to a vibrant US East Coast city, and has led to a distinguished aviation and leadership career; I have fostered a deep appreciation for details with a grounded perspective. A devoted husband and proud father of three passionate children, I am constantly reminded to seek and create positive impact by valuing the nuances and \"little things\" in both professional and personal pursuits (such as being a role model for my family and watching my large dogs destroy my yard)
