Chris Cronin is a product-focused founder and leader with 11 years of experience building tech-enabled businesses and enterprise platforms from idea to market. Based in New York, he has led product strategy and execution across startups and financial services—most recently founding Treeline while driving SmartOptions’ gamified learning and AI risk analytics as Product Lead. His background blends hands-on technical product delivery (transforming legacy Survey APIs into self-service platforms) with data-forward ventures like Plotter, which aggregated 100+ financial and economic datasets into adaptive visualizations. He has a track record of turning analytics and ML prototypes into revenue-impacting features, including AI-driven forecasting that supported a $35M Series B. Comfortable at the intersection of strategy, engineering, and market insight, Chris also evaluates and invests in early-stage opportunities, bringing investor-level discipline to product roadmaps. An MS in Fintech from NYU Stern underpins his ability to translate complex financial data into usable, scalable products.
