Bendiek’s departure is not the only upheaval on the SAP board. The dual CEO leadership of Christian Klein and Jennifer Morgan ended in 2020 after just six months with Morgan’s dismissal, and Klein has been running the business alone ever since. Only at the beginning of the month did it become known that CFO Luka Mucic was also leaving the company after 27 years, and his contract ended prematurely. Loud “Manager Magazine” Head of Communications Oliver Roll will also leave SAP in the fall.
The remaining members of SAP’s executive board, Marketing Director Julia White and Sales Director Scott Russel, have both renewed their contracts. You are now supporting the CEO, together with the new Chief Human Resources Officer, in successfully implementing the transformation of SAP into a cloud company. The first measures in this area are restructuring, which will lead to massive job cuts.
