Summary
Chris Baker is a fintech and proptech operator with nine years of product and operational leadership experience, currently co-founding and running operations at Further to simplify homebuying for first-time buyers. He has repeatedly built and scaled cross-functional teams and infrastructure— from headlining product and analytics at Knox (acquired by Doorstead) to restructuring product at EasyKnock and architecting Snowflake-based data stacks for Hologram Sciences. Comfortable at the intersection of product, data, and finance, Chris has driven substantial revenue and profit growth in prior roles and led integration and due-diligence work across acquisitions. His background in real estate, corporate banking, and analytics, plus an MBA from Darden, gives him a rare blend of quantitative rigor and hands-on startup execution. Notably, he began building with AI before the recent hype cycle, signaling a long-standing appetite for emerging technologies applied to consumer finance.
