About Cristopher Post
Product transformation executive with a proven track record of building and scaling product management organizations, modernizing product operating models, and driving market-backed growth across industrial, automation, building technologies, and SaaS-enabled portfolios.I’m typically brought in when organizations need to move from reactive, sales-led product development to disciplined, customer-informed, and financially grounded product operations that consistently deliver growth, margin expansion, and portfolio clarity.Across Fortune 500 and mid-market companies, I’ve built product functions, implemented portfolio governance and lifecycle management, and established product operations, analytics, and prioritization practices that connect strategy to execution.I partner closely with CEOs, CFOs, engineering, sales, and operations leaders to translate business strategy into executable multi-year product and platform roadmaps and capital-aligned investment plans. I’ve led global portfolios exceeding $400M in revenue with accountability across product strategy, lifecycle management, new product development, commercialization, and organizational design.Core focus areas:• Product organization build & transformation• Portfolio & platform strategy• Product operations & lifecycle management• New product development & commercialization• VOC & market intelligence• Capital & P&L alignment• Executive stakeholder leadership
