I believe that the SAP stock will only rebound when Julia White returns as CMO.
This shake up may require more re-trends to return to SAP in order to right the ship.

No. Julia White was just that bad. Classic technology company C-suite tourist just moving from one company to another dragging along hangers-on from her Microsoft days. Always making sure to negotiate a Golden Parachute on the way in so she’ll be set for life even when she messes up.
If this is the level of arguments on irrelevant topics SAPians are involved in then one can imagine the level of stupidity that has seeped into the system that products are not build but purchased, C grade managers are promoted who in turn hire D grade employees, the old ones in WDF and Rot only care about their shares and retirement plans and executives care about their bonuses and artificially propping up the share price by layoffs and share buy backs.
She brought in DEI, see nowadays organization, all of female HRBP
I wonder what her shtick would be this time? Her whole personality was the DEI stuff last time and it really aligned well with when the world was “Peak Woke”.
Since then, all the previously woke tech companies have basically flip-flopped over to doing whatever they can do to enable authoritarian governments and oligarchs.
Maybe she can come back with that as her priority and you know, spend a lot of time with the A&D accounts and tell them that she’s always loved them. I’m sure she can find a veteran in her family to trot out now that her transitioning offspring she always had to bring up in business settings is so 2022.
@av Yes -- like all the incompetent men...
Current trend is HBWP - have b—bs will promote continues. There’s all kinds of incompetent people who are being promoted based on gender.
I was hoping Scott would return instead. We lost the real sellers, and we’re wondering why customers aren’t buying from us anymore. CK or CK’s friends are completely clueless when it comes to selling enterprise software.
