Chief Compliance Officer Phillip Warner

Phillip Warner has over 15 years of experience in managing child care contracts and leading large teams of staff toward a common vision. Having spent most of his career working in non-profits, he brings his perspectives from providing the highest possible level of services to communities who need them most, while balancing contract stewardship and funder expectations to Children’s Council’s Executive Team.

Phillip has oversight of Children’s Council’s largest contracts, totaling approximately $200 million in annual fiscal stewardship funding, including the organization’s largest child care subsidy contracts that provide financial assistance for 5,000+ children each year. He is actively involved in State policy discussions and workgroups; and maintains a strong network of professionals from other child care agencies across the state. 

A Bay Area native, Phillip graduated from California State University at Hayward, and has served on the Fatherhood Collaborative of San Mateo County’s advisory board, on the board and co-chair of the Public Policy Committee of CAPPA (a statewide child care advocacy organization), volunteered with animal welfare organizations, and has been a Little League Baseball coach for three years, affording him precious time with his children during their formative years.
