Happy New Year! It is still January, so I guess it is still OK to wish you all a great one, with lots of laughter, love and a more simple business 😉

Of the many SAP executives that the SAP Mentors have the opportunity to meet, Irfan Khan CTO for SAP Global Customer Operations is the one that comes into these conversations with the biggest open mind. He is able to clearly articulate his strategy, but is also seeking out to be challenged to get new insights that improve his vision.
