SAP's Chief Technology Officer Juergen Mueller to Leave After Reaching Agreement
By Najat Kantouar
SAP said it reached a mutual agreement with Chief Technology Officer Juergen Mueller for him to leave the company effective from Sept. 30.
The German software giant said that Chief Executive Christian Klein will assume the interim responsibility for most of the technology and innovation board area that Mueller covers.
"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," Juergen Mueller said.
SAP didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the incident.
Mueller has played a key role in establishing the SAP Business Technology Platform, which provides the technical foundation for SAP's best-of-suite offering and serves more than 23,000 live customers.
