Top SchoolChris Horn is a seasoned product and infrastructure leader with two decades of experience building secure, customer-focused systems across cybersecurity, e‑commerce, logistics, and federal R&D. Currently Head of Infrastructure & Security at Ari Networks, he blends hands-on technical judgment with product strategy—shaping roadmaps, budgets up to $2.75M, and integrations that tie engineering outcomes to business value. He has repeatedly led evolutionary and greenfield efforts, from cloud-native security platforms at Fortinet to tokenization experiments on Solana, and helped scale startups through product, UX, and go-to-market work. A pragmatic designer-turned-product-executive trained in HCI at Carnegie Mellon, Chris is notable for translating complex technical risk into measurable product outcomes while coaching high-performing teams. Humble, curious, and a skeptical optimist, he prefers data-driven decisions and rapid learning cycles to solve ambiguous problems.
