Three New Hires at Grasp
This year, we had the pleasure of welcoming two exceptional leaders to the Grasp Technologies team, marking a new chapter of growth and innovation.
First, Chris Wilson joined us as our new CEO. Chris brings a wide range of experience, operational excellence, and a passion for serving customers to the role. He has been in the software industry for over 25 years, where he got his start selling time & expense report software, which evolved into leadership positions with companies selling infrastructure software, machine learning, high performance computing solutions, and much more. He deeply understands the intricacies of connecting a customer’s need for business value and the solutions that Grasp provides, and that is a big part of what attracted him to Grasp.
“It’s been a busy but very pleasurable first six months for me with Grasp. I’ve been fortunate to have met many of our customers and partners, and look forward to meeting all of them soon. Being new to the travel industry, but not new to the technologies that power Grasp, it was great to attend GBTA back in July and immerse myself in all things travel. Since that event, I’ve continued to learn about how our customers are using Grasp, and how we help them achieve their business goals. As we finish up 2024, we’ve been busy mapping out a great roadmap for our product and services that I think the market will appreciate. I’m excited about what 2025 will bring for both Grasp and our customers.”
We also welcomed Tina Quattlebaum, a global leader in strategy, operations, and customer success. With her deep expertise in driving transformational initiatives and business outcomes, Tina is focused on delivering impactful solutions for Grasp’s clients. Her unique perspective as a former corporate buyer positions her to understand and address the evolving needs of the business travel community.
And lastly, Lisa Wynne joins the team as our new Senior Implementation Specialist. Lisa brings over 12 years of expertise in global project management, having led and implemented projects across 100+ countries in industries such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and finance. Her dedication ensures high client satisfaction and seamless execution of multi-level projects.
We are very happy and excited to have such excellent people on our team!
