Jan Gilg

Chief Revenue Officer for the Americas

United States of America

As the ultimate Cloud and AI optimist, I believe we are living through a business technology revolution in real time. It’s a rare moment when we get to witness the next great chapter of business transformations but write it at the same time.

In my role as Chief Revenue Officer, Americas and SAP Business Suite, I get to have a front row seat for the greatest business AI innovations in the Americas and globally. I bring a product mindset, an empathy for enterprise customers (because I’ve been one!) and a passion for making them stay ahead and stay successful in the Intelligent Age.

I believe in blurring the boundaries between 'us' and 'them', the business and the customer, and always striving to achieve a level of empathy and innovation in my leadership style that breaks the norm.

Mastering the dichotomy of leadership requires understanding when to lead and when to listen, being open to new ideas, staying curious about the world around us, and always working to build strong and inclusive teams that deliver the very best outcomes. A top-performing, customer-centric culture is what drives me in my work every day.
