cmd /k "command1 && command2"

Also take a look at the Microsoft documentation for the command interpreter.

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k cd "C:\Program Files\App" & app

Since you're already in the directory there's no point in repeating it, so I just shortened your path to app. Anyways, use & to run multiple commands.

I would suggest you have cmd.exe run a script with the commands/programs you want. If it needs to be dynamic, you can make the directory name and the command to run parameters to the script.
