German magazine Handelsblatt wrote about the DAX supervisory boards: "As much as financial experts are in demand nowadays, there is still a lack of technology expertise on DAX supervisory boards." The SAP Supervisory Board is no exception. CEO Christian Klein can only expect real advice from Plattner and Supervisory Board member Gerd Oswald, who himself was a member of the SAP Executive Board for over 16 years and knows the SAP business and customers like no other.
