On February 16, 1957, Russell J. Warren was initiated into the Alpha Delta chapter of the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity.  After graduating with a degree in electrical engineering from Case Western Reserve University, Warren continued his education at the Harvard Business School, receiving an MBA and quickly becoming the president of Association for Corporate Growth and M&A International, Incorporated.

Warren has advised clients from all over the world; as an expert on cross-border acquisitions and mergers, Warren held the position of president at the TransAction Group for twenty-one years.  At present he has stepped up to the role of senior dealmaker and overseer of business at EdgePoint.  He is also currently a trustee emeritus of Case Western Reserve, and a member of the Visiting Committees of the Weatherhead School of Management and the Case School of Engineering.  Speaking of his new position, Warren said, "we've worked together before in the past.  We've known each other and respected each other for a long time," just as the Alpha Delta brothers respect him, especially since he is another reason this chapter can be very proud to be.
