SAP has announced that Chief Technology Officer and Executive Board Member Juergen Mueller will leave the company’s Executive Board, effective September 30, 2024. The decision follows an incident at a company meeting in which Müller behaved inappropriately.
Mueller 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.”
Mueller has played a key role in establishing the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), which provides the technical foundation for SAP’s best-of-suite offering and serves more than 23,000 live customers.
“We thank Juergen Mueller for his significant accomplishments and wish him well in his future endeavors,“ said Pekka Ala-Pietilä, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of SAP SE.
In the interim, SAP CEO Christian Klein will assume responsibility for most of the Technology & Innovation Board area that Mueller leads. The SAP Global Security & Cloud Compliance team will join the Customer Services & Delivery Board area under Thomas Saueressig.
