The SAP AG supervisory board has appointed Robert Enslin and Bernd Leukert to the company's executive board to help advance the transition to the cloud.
Enslin will continue to lead global customer operations and Leukert will assume responsibility for the global development organisation, says SAP.
Commenting on the appointment, SAP says Enslin and Leukert represent two of the company's longest serving and most promising leaders, bringing a combined 42 years of SAP experience to the board.
"Robert Enslin and Bernd Leukert have dedicated their careers to SAP's customers and employees. They will play integral roles in scaling the broad adoption of the HANA Cloud platform and accelerate the company's success into a new era," says Bill McDermott Co-CEO of SAP.
"We are very confident that Rob and Bernd are the right leaders to drive the scale and adoption of the SAP Cloud," adds Hasso Plattner, chairman of the supervisory board of SAP.
According to SAP, Enslin joined SAP in 1992 and began his career as a SAP consultant supporting customers in SA and has presided over the integration of SAP's go-to-market teams to advance a simplified experience for SAP customers.
Leukert joined SAP in 1994 and has long been one of the company's foremost technologists and solution visionaries. He was appointed to the global managing board in 2013 after successfully orchestrating the development and delivery of SAP Business Suite, says SAP.
The appointment of the two comes with the departure of Dr Vishal Sikka from the executive board for personal reasons.
"I would like to personally thank Vishal for his contribution to take SAP to this stage. We will remain friends as he pursues the next step in his journey," notes Plattner.
"Now is the moment for leaders like Rob Enslin and Bernd Leukert to step up and fulfil the promise of SAP as the cloud company," concludes McDermott.
