From 1996-2001 Warner worked for NeSBIC, the independently run venture capital and private equity group that was part of Fortis bank: Warner made investments in all industries (from food to fashion, from trade to services) and all development stages, lastly serving on the board of Refresco, a leading European private label manufacturer of soft drinks and fruit juices. Warner also serves several non-profits, such as Empowered by Light and the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovations Institute, and is an advisor to the Netherlands government regarding cleantech private-public partnerships through Orange Goes Green.
