Who We Are

Meet the Team

At Connection Crüe, we are passionate about building bridges—between people, industries, and opportunities. With deep roots in the oil and gas sector, we recognized a need for more authentic and meaningful connections in a world often driven by transactions. That’s why we’re here: to create a space where genuine relationships thrive, impactful conversations happen, and opportunities are uncovered.

Beyond connections, we’re deeply committed to helping people grow. Through our coaching and development programs, we empower individuals to build confidence, master soft skills, and cultivate a leader and achiever mindset. Whether it’s through our Operator Mastermind Roundtables, professional coaching, or mentorship initiatives, our mission is to inspire growth, foster collaboration, and help people reach their full potential.

Connection Crüe is more than a platform—it’s a movement to connect, elevate, and make an impact in the lives of individuals and industries alike.

Founder

JP Warren

With 19 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, I’ve built a career navigating roles across HSE, operations, and sales, gaining a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the sector. In 2021, I launched my company to bridge the gaps between people, fostering genuine connections, engaging conversations, and opportunistic discussions that drive the industry forward.

Beyond the energy space, I’m passionate about coaching and developing individuals—from university students to executives—on soft skills, communication, and leadership development. My goal is to help others build confidence, shift mindsets, and grow personally and professionally, creating impactful leaders for today and tomorrow.

Event Director

Monika Warren

Monika Warren grew up in the oilfield, with her father working as a landman for several operators. Her professional journey spans the music and hospitality industries, where she built a remarkable career. With over two decades of experience recording and performing alongside numerous national artists, Monika gained national recognition during her standout appearance on Season 5 of The Voice.

Before her music career, Monika excelled in the hospitality industry, working in high-end luxury hotels, where she honed her expertise in public relations and guest experience. These diverse experiences laid the foundation for her transition into the oil and gas industry.

Now, as the Event Director of Connection Crüe, Monika plays a critical role in ensuring smooth event execution and fostering meaningful connections. Her ability to bring people together and establish genuine relationships is a testament to her exceptional interpersonal skills, making her an invaluable part of the team.

What I Do

Today, I work with individuals and companies across all levels — from college students launching their careers, to executives trying to scale with clarity, connection, and confidence.

Through Connection Crüe, I offer:

Strategic consulting and positioning for companies ready to differentiate
Soft skills and communication training for teams who want to lead with influence
Access to exclusive Crüe Club roundtables where operators connect beyond the tradeshow noise
Exec Crüe, a leadership group for men navigating growth, business, and life with intention

I don’t believe in theory without practice. I believe in helping people build something real, and that starts with how you communicate, how you connect, and how you show up.

Why It Matters

The truth is, most people — and companies — struggle not because they aren’t good…
…but because they can’t explain what makes them different.
Because they’re doing it alone.

Or because they’ve never had someone in their corner who actually gets it.

That’s where I come in.
