Jim Hagemann

Chairman of Siemens, Former Co-CEO of SAP, Global Business Leader

Jim Hagemann Snabe is one of Europe’s most respected business leaders, with a career spanning technology, industrial transformation and boardroom leadership. As Chairman of Siemens and former Co-CEO of SAP, he has helped guide major global organisations through periods of reinvention, digital change and shifting market expectations.
