Profile
Gareth Hewitt has built his career at the intersection of private-markets operations and technology, working closely with large organisations as they scaled in complexity, structure and global reach. Across more than two decades in the industry, Gareth has helped firms design and run fund accounting and data infrastructures that must stand up to investor scrutiny, regulatory pressure and rapid growth. Through that work, he repeatedly saw the same constraint: legacy systems that were expensive to maintain, slow to adapt, and fundamentally misaligned with how modern private-markets firms actually operate. LemonEdge was born from that insight. Gareth set out to build a platform purpose-designed for private markets, one that treats accounting data as a strategic foundation rather than a reporting by-product. The result is a modern, event-driven fund accounting platform built to handle complexity at scale, eliminate manual workarounds, and give firms confidence in their numbers as demands continue to rise.
