Over the course of 35 years, Rinderer built a career tackling the most complex technical challenges modern enterprises face, spanning the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and private sector.

Beyond NinjaOne, Rinderer advises the U.S. government on matters of national security, supports multiple defense technology startups, and mentors the next generation of innovators through STEM initiatives in higher education.
“Customer success is at the core of NinjaOne’s culture and strategy.

“This is the greatest opportunity of my career. NinjaOne is uniquely positioned to solve some of the biggest IT challenges organizations face today because of the company’s unrelenting and unmatched focus on innovation and customer success,” said Kinworthy. “With my fellow Ninjas, we are simplifying endpoint management and advancing efficiency and security for federal, state, and local agencies.”
“IT teams across the federal government and large enterprises face a serious challenge managing and securing a massive amount and variety of endpoints. Automated endpoint management unlocks time and resources organizations can put toward other high-priority and impactful work,” said Rinderer. “It’s the opportunity to help federal and enterprise organizations become more productive and achieve their missions by simplifying IT teams’ work that has me most excited about this role.”
Kinworthy’s and Rinderer’s appointments come on the heels of NinjaOne announcing it is FedRAMP Ready, and that it secured $500 million in Series C extensions at a $5 billion valuation. The funding will drive research and development focused on autonomous endpoint management, autonomous patching and vulnerability remediation, and expanded IT use cases that improve employee experiences with devices, in addition to supporting the company’s overinvestment in world-class customer support.
