Summary
Chris Alder is a product leader based in Berkeley with eight years of experience taking mission-driven tech from 0-to-1 and scaling early-stage products to meaningful growth. Currently Lead Product Manager at Pavilion, he was the first PM hire at Civitech where he rebuilt stalled platforms, grew product portfolios, and increased usage and revenue several-fold while scaling teams and mentoring junior PMs. At findhelp he expanded offerings from one product to seven, led major overhauls in case management and retention, and established company-wide alerting and performance reporting. His background in strategy consulting and international development gives him a data-backed, user-centered approach to complex civic and social problems, and he consistently pairs rapid shipping with rigorous user research. Colleagues describe him as a listener who leverages cross-functional leadership to turn messy problems into clear roadmaps and measurable outcomes.
