SAP SE announced that the SAP Supervisory Board has reached a mutual agreement with Executive Board members Scott Russell and Julia White to leave the company's Executive Board, effective August 31st. Chief Revenue Officer Scott Russell has played a central role in helping SAP customers around the world on their journey to the cloud. His success gives SAP the opportunity to develop the full potential of the company's best-of-suite offering, ensuring customers take advantage of SAP's solutions to maximize agility and innovation.

A search for Scott Russell's successor is underway. SAP CEO Christian Klein will assume responsibility for the sales organization in the interim. Chief Marketing and Solutions Officer Julia White has successfully modernized marketing and communications while also building SAP's product marketing function to support a cloud-first model.

SAP will now strengthen the synergy between product marketing and product teams by bringing those teams together. The SAP Supervisory Board and Julia White agreed that this notable shift marks an appropriate juncture to dissolve the distinct Marketing & Solutions board area. This adjustment, effective September 1st, streamlines SAP's Executive Board structure.
