IT giant SAP woos new software talent as it looks to reinvent itself
Hasso Plattner didn’t even own a computer when he started his software company in 1972. “It was not cozy,” recalled Plattner, who spent the next four decades turning SAP SE into Europe’s most valuable technology company and becoming a multi-billionaire along the way. “Hiring more young people is good and right,” said Eberhard Schick, a member of SAP‘s workers’ council, who joined the company in 1997. Yet Plattner’s outsize influence is fueling concern among several current and former SAP employees that his departure will tear a hole in SAP’s leadership fabric that nobody can fill. McDermott insists SAP has a succession plan, and that the company “will be in very good hands.” And whatever Plattner’s next move, McDermott insists he’s there to guide SAP’s strategy.
