Tim Wintrip takes the helm at Lemongrass

The new CEO brings over 30 years of experience in enterprise software and services

Software-enabled services provider Lemongrass has hired Tim Wintrip as chief executive officer amid rapid growth for the reseller.

Wintrip brings extensive experience in enterprise software, with over 30 years in the sector.

He has previously worked for companies such as Dell EMC, CSC, Virtustream and VMware where he earned his stripes overseeing complex, mission-critical IT environments for large organisations such as Royal Bank of Scotland and PNC Bank.

He also previously worked as VP of global systems engineering at VISA, where he was in charge of creating developer-centric services.

He joined Lemongrass in 2021 as CSO and went on to become CCO less than a year later.

This new appointment comes at a time of rapid growth for the Reading-based business, which currently partners with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and has completed over 220 systems applications and products (SAP) engagements in more than 20 countries.

Founded in 2008, Lemongrass’ mission is to enable zero downtime migrations to cloud through its “Lemongrass Cloud Platform.”

The reseller works for various international brands like Covestro, Fender and Heineken.

Lemongrass also offers managed services for SAP and its related workloads and recently launched services to accelerate migrations to RISE with SAP.

Wintrip replaces Mike Rosenbloom, who will become a member of the company’s board of directors.

“These past five years as CEO of Lemongrass have been incredibly fulfilling, closing out this year profitably and with record revenue,” said Rosenbloom.

“Having accomplished this, I feel the timing is right for me to embark on a new chapter in my career, doing something I’m equally passionate about – providing strategic guidance to emerging and startup tech companies through board and advisory roles.

“I am confident that [Tim’s] exceptional skills and experience make him the perfect person to lead Lemongrass going forward.”

“I am honoured to take over as CEO and want to thank Mike and the board for this opportunity,” said Wintrip.

“Lemongrass has firmly established itself as a leader in the SAP-to-cloud market, and as CEO, I will be focused on continuing our mission to efficiently modernise SAP-centric landscapes for our enterprise customers.”

Wintrip will assume his new role on 1 January 2025.
