Post Holdings, Inc., a prominent player in the consumer packaged goods sector, has made significant changes to its executive team, signaling an exciting new chapter in the company's journey. As of October 1, 2026, Robert Vitale, who has served as the Chairman and CEO, will elevate his role to Executive Chairman. Meanwhile, Nicolas Catoggio, the company's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed to succeed Vitale as President and CEO.

Under Vitale's leadership, Post Holdings has witnessed tremendous growth and expansion into new markets and product categories.

In his new role as Executive Chairman, Vitale will continue to provide strategic guidance, particularly focused on capital allocation and supporting Catoggio as he steps into his new responsibilities.

In a statement honoring the transition, Vitale praised Catoggio, stating, "Nico is an exceptional leader. Over the past several years, he has driven strong performance at Post Consumer Brands, led the integration of acquisitions, and earned the trust of our teams across the organization. He has the right judgment and experience to lead the company as we continue to execute our strategy to create long-term value for our shareholders."

Catoggio's journey at Post began when he was appointed as COO in January 2026. Prior to this, he led Post Consumer Brands as President and CEO since September 2021, driving remarkable performance in the company's product offerings. His extensive background includes serving as a Managing Director and Senior Partner in Boston Consulting Group's Consumer Goods practice, where he worked closely with Post for many years on various critical projects involving M&A diligence, integrations, and portfolio realignments in the food and beverage industry.

"I'm honored to take on this role and want to thank Rob for his leadership and partnership and the board for its confidence in me," Catoggio expressed. "I'm eager to build on our momentum as we continue to strengthen our businesses and pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value."
