From Lift-and-Shift to Zero Trust:

The Security Journey Behind Reynolds SAP Transformation

In this episode of Lemongrass Roots, Eamonn O’Neill sits down with Boris Voltchenko, CISO and VP of Infrastructure at Reynold's Consumer Products, for a straight-talking conversation about modernizing SAP in the cloud — and what it really takes to do it securely.

Boris shares the inside story of RCP’s SAP transformation journey: from launching ECC on AWS during the company’s IPO, to their current move to S/4HANA via RISE with SAP. But this isn't just another cloud migration story. It’s a candid discussion on zero trust, identity-first security, and the mindset shift required to let go of old data centre thinking.

Expect insights on:

  • Moving from IaaS to PaaS with RISE and AWS
  • Implementing zero trust in a way that actually works
  • Determining where AI in security can add value and when it falls short
  • Tackling identity sprawl and building business-aligned access controls
  • The importance of evolving your team and culture as fast as your tech

If you're navigating SAP transformation or trying to balance agility with control in the cloud, this episode is packed with lessons you won’t want to miss.
