Lemongrass, a global SAP consulting and managed services firm backed by Columbia Capital, retained Lantern Partners to recruit a Chief Sales Officer to help accelerate the company’s next phase of growth. As demand continues to rise for SAP cloud modernization, S/4HANA migrations, and managed services, Lemongrass sought a proven global revenue leader with deep SAP ecosystem experience and a track record of building high-performing go-to-market organizations. We are pleased to announce the appointment of Abe Iruegas as Chief Sales Officer.

Iruegas brings nearly three decades of enterprise technology and SAP services experience, having led and scaled global revenue organizations across some of the industry’s most respected platforms. Most recently, he served as Chief Revenue Officer at K2 Partnering Solutions, where he drove international expansion and strengthened strategic partnerships across key markets. Prior to that, he held senior leadership roles at IBM and DXC Technology, leading SAP managed services and applications organizations, shaping go-to-market strategy, and delivering consistent, measurable growth across the Americas and globally.
At Lemongrass, Iruegas will join the executive leadership team and assume responsibility for global sales, alliances, and go-to-market strategy. He will play a central role in deepening alignment with SAP and hyperscaler partners, enhancing lifecycle engagement for customers, and driving revenue growth across the company’s SAP cloud and managed services portfolio. His appointment further strengthens Lemongrass’s ability to scale its platform, expand globally, and support clients as they modernize SAP landscapes, transition to S/4HANA, and adopt cloud-based operating models that deliver durable, measurable business outcomes.
