Thus, in today’s world change is constant and transformation is more than a business strategy—it’s a mindset. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Energy and Natural Resources industries, where innovation and disruption go hand in hand.
As SVP and General Manager at SAP SE, I lead a global team of experts and trusted industry advisors who work alongside customers to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges. Our mission is to help organizations in these vital sectors not only navigate complexity—but reimagine their future through technology. Digital transformation is no longer a one-time initiative; it’s the new normal, reshaping how businesses operate, create value, and build a sustainable tomorrow.
But transformation doesn’t happen through technology alone. It starts with people—and with leadership rooted in trust, collaboration, and values. For me, leadership is about behavior, not titles. It’s about listening first, taking responsibility, and leading with integrity—not just authority.
I’ve always enjoyed working in a global context and gained valuable business experience in Denmark, Germany, Austria, the US, and India. I bring that same curiosity and openness into every part of life—professionally and personally. Whether it’s on a bike ride, during a deep dive or in the boardroom, I’m driven by a passion for learning, growth, and discovery - pushing the boundaries and operating outside of my comfort zone.
I believe failure is not a setback but a stepping stone. It builds the resilience and bold thinking needed to thrive in fast-paced environments—and it’s been central to my own journey leading through complexity and change.
