WALLDORF, Germany, Aug. 29,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP)
today announced that Gina Vargiu-Breuer (48) has been appointed to
the Executive Board of SAP as Chief People Officer and labor
director, effective from February 1,
2024. She will succeed Sabine Bendiek, who will be leaving
the company by her own request on December
31, 2023.
In her new role, Vargiu-Breuer will lead the HR organization and
continue to drive the transformation of SAP's HR strategy. This
includes creating an even more powerful growth and learning
environment at SAP that enables inclusion, diversity and
agility.
Vargiu-Breuer joins from Siemens Energy, where she has been
serving as the Global Head of HR since the separation from Siemens
in late 2019. In this role, she has played a significant part in
driving and overseeing a substantial portion of the company's
change efforts in alignment with the corporate human resources
strategy. In helping guide Siemens Energy's journey towards
becoming an independent company, she particularly focused on a
well-orchestrated transformation that actively involved leaders and
the workforce as co-creators.
"With Gina Vargiu-Breuer, we have found an exceptional leader
who can continue to drive our ongoing transformation, particularly
in the realm of human resources, and make crucial contributions,"
said Professor Hasso Plattner,
Chairman of the Supervisory Board of SAP SE. "On behalf of the
Supervisory Board, I warmly welcome Gina and wish her a successful
start at SAP. Our heartfelt thanks go to Sabine Bendiek, who,
during her tenure, set crucial foundations for a successful and
sustainable transformation of the company at both the personnel and
operational levels."
Prior to her time at Siemens Energy, Vargiu-Breuer worked at
Siemens, where she held various operational and strategic HR roles,
including positions in Asia,
the United States and the
United Arab Emirates. She holds a
degree in Business Psychology from the
Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. Vargiu-Breuer
has been appointed to the Executive Board for a term of three years
and will be based at the SAP headquarters in Walldorf, Germany.
"Companies like SAP are at the center of the global economy's
digital transformation. In this context, personnel and corporate
strategies must go hand in hand to ensure business success today
and in the future. Long-term personnel management, an attractive
working environment and highly motivated employees are crucial
factors," said Vargiu-Breuer. "I sincerely thank the Supervisory
Board for entrusting me with the heart of SAP's ongoing change, the
personnel strategy."
The role of Chief Operating Officer – previously also under
Sabine Bendiek's responsibility – will be assumed by Chief Strategy
Officer Sebastian Steinhaeuser
starting January 1, 2024. He will
continue to report to CEO Christian
Klein.
