About me
Wren Elise Fair
Senior program manager, PMP, with an MSc in Major Programme Management from the University of Oxford. I align stakeholders, manage risk, and keep complex programs on schedule — from discovery through final sign-off.
I'm an emotionally intelligent corporate fixer and disciplined operator. I'm not afraid to ask questions, challenge assumptions, or offer alternative ideas on how to fix a problem. I can also quickly assess a complex process or operation and begin immediately implementing improvements.
I'm mission driven. If you hand me the responsibility of completing a critical program, my loyalty becomes to meeting the deliverables and achieving the benefits required to call the program a success for my clients. I know I've done my job when the program team starts to not need me anymore and can self-manage. That's my goal in every project.
Areas of expertise
Leadership of large matrixed and cross-functional teams to achieve program objectives, and operations process improvement. Ten years in solar and renewable energy, with construction, technology and finance programs throughout.
Outside of programs
I care about an equitable transition to clean energy, and I've volunteered on solar workforce development and climate action in Austin. I'm a singer-songwriter and I play the guitar. Look out for the release of my first album, Pool of Dreams. I'm powered by coffee and curiosity, based in San Antonio, Texas, and I work remotely with clients anywhere in the world.
What colleagues say
In their words
Wren was instrumental in leading a complex mass module transition, bringing together multiple teams and keeping every workstream aligned toward a successful outcome. Her ability to manage competing priorities and facilitate collaboration helped make the transition seamless while minimizing costs and improving operational efficiency for the business unit. Wren is an exceptional Program Management leader, and I would confidently recommend her to any organization navigating complex change.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Wren on our company's 10-K filing, a complex project that brought together Operations, Finance, executive leadership, consultants, and the auditors. Wren stepped in and quickly brought structure, clarity, and momentum to the process, creating a framework for the team to follow while keeping stakeholders aligned and accountable. She has a real ability to bring people together, keep a complicated project moving, and make sure the right things get done—and her leadership played a major role in helping us successfully complete the filing prior to the deadline.
What stood out to me was Wren's ability to bring structure, accountability, communication, and sound judgment to a complex, time-sensitive project involving many stakeholders. She didn't just manage a project plan she understood the people and circumstances behind the deadlines, anticipated where things could go off track, and took action early to keep the team moving toward the end goal.
Wren's summit planning was exceptional. The program ran seamlessly and on budget. The team didn't have to worry about the logistics or administration and could just focus on the what we were there to accomplish.
