Henning Kagermann

Kagermann joined SAP in 1982 and was initially responsible for product development in the areas of cost accounting and controlling.

During that period, his responsibilities included sales, global customer relations, strategic development projects and consulting.

In the following years, he increased SAP's share of the market for enterprise resource planning (ERP) programs with more than one function from 35% to 43%.

Shortly after, he overhauled the company's management again after the surprise resignation of Shai Agassi, its top software executive.
