Troy Lester is a Co-Founder & CRO of WARP. He previously worked at AxleHire as a Head Of Partnerships & Business Development. Troy attended Stony Brook University.
He’s been starting logistics companies since the age of 18 and has been obsessed with supply chain problem-solving ever since. That obsession runs deep—shaped by a childhood
around lawyers who managed time with near-surgical precision thanks to billable hours. It left Troy with an internal clock wired for feedback loops, urgency, and execution.
At Warp, Troy leads revenue, go-to-market, and strategic growth—helping scale the company from zero to millions in monthly revenue. He’s reimagining what LTL, store replenishment, and pool distribution should feel like when you build them around software, not terminals.
He views company building as a form of art—one that requires vision, technical range, discipline, and storytelling. He’s not just trying to build a better freight network—he wants to build something that lasts. A system that accelerates progress for our species. Because for Troy, the goal has never been modest success. It’s to make trillions of dollars and use that leverage to push civilization forward faster than history’s typical decay cycles allow.
