Hans Thalbauer
Company: SAP
Title: Senior Vice President of IoT and Extended Supply Chain
Under Hans Thalbauer's leadership, SAP has funneled more investments into IoT – for example, in September 2016 the company promised to invest $2.2 billion in the next five years to accelerate development of its IoT solution portfolio, increase sales and marketing, and grow its ecosystem of partners and startups in the IoT market. More recently, Thalbauer has followed up on that pledge with the announcement of SAP Leonardo, a new product portfolio that combines adaptive applications, big data management and connectivity in packaged solutions for various lines of business.
