Jürgen Müller to Leave SAP Executive Board
SAP announced that its Supervisory Board has reached a mutual agreement with Chief Technology Officer and Executive Board Member Jürgen Müller to leave the company’s Executive Board, effective September 30, 2024.
Müller stated: “I want to address an incident at a past company event where my behavior was inappropriate. I regret being inconsiderate and sincerely apologize to everyone affected. I recognize my behavior at that moment did not reflect our values at SAP. I take full responsibility and believe stepping down is best for the company. I wish the team continued success.”
Müller has played a key role in establishing the BTP (Business Technology Platform), which provides the technical foundation for SAP’s best-of-suite offering and serves more than 23,000 live customers.
In the interim, SAP CEO Christian Klein will assume responsibility for most of the Technology and Innovation Board area that Müller leads. The SAP Global Security and Cloud Compliance team will join the Customer Services and Delivery Board area under Thomas Saueressig.
