Post Holdings Inc. EVP and chief operating officer Jeff Zadoks has announced his retirement effective January 2026, according to a release from the company. Taking the reins from Zadoks upon his departure will be Post Consumer Brands president and chief executive officer Nicolas Catoggio — who will add the COO responsibilities to his current role.
Post added that, until a longer-term leader is selected, Catoggio will continue to perform his day-to-day duties with Post Consumer Brands. He started in his current role in September 2021, joining the company from Boston Consulting Group, where he had been managing director and senior partner — and advised Post for many years. During Catoggio’s tenure, Post has successfully integrated a variety of acquired companies, facilities, products and brands.
Zadoks retires with 14 years of Post experience under his belt, having joined the company in 2011. He was promoted to chief financial officer in 2014, then chief operating officer in December 2022.
