SAPs cloud chief quits
Summary
Duffy is an SAP veteran, having risen through the ranks since starting back in 2005 and progressing to the top job after three and a half years in the president EMEA North role. Once SAP’s youngest regional president, it’s clear the software giant has lost a bright spark from its ranks with Duffy’s departure. The news follows an uneasy start to the year for SAP, as last month the company joined the long list of technology firms making cuts to their workforces. In addition, the firm announced plans in January to sell its stake in Qualtrics, the customer experience software developer, after the original $8bn acquisition back in 2019. Some customers have complained the change management and training provided is not at the right levels for an easy shift to the platform, while some target clients seem to prefer a piecemeal approach to cloud software upgrades.
