Perhaps you've heard of Humans of New York (HONY), the five-year-old vibrant photograph-blog-turned-#1-New-York-Times-best-selling-book run by a man named Brandon that provides a worldwide audience with daily glimpses into the lives of the people in New York City. Inspired by HONY, we decided to do our own spinoff and call it Humans of SAPsv. Each week, through the end of December, we'll feature three employees complete with their picture, name, title, Twitter handle, and snippets of their passion for SAP, their commitment to their colleagues and community, and what inspires them both inside and outside of SAP.

If you're interested in the chance to be featured in Humans of SAPsv, please email Magen Mintchev. Enjoy learning more about your colleagues and share your comments below!


See the Humans of SAPsv Weekly Series on SAPsv Jam.

What are you passionate about at SAP?

Creating awareness for design, with events like HIVE and the UX Day.

What’s your favorite thing about working at SAP?

The diversity and how widespread SAP is. With offices in almost every country, it allows you to travel, experience new cultures, and learn from each other.

If you could have one super power, what would it be?

Super Learn Power–to absorb knowledge at a super speed! Can't fly a plane? I just read the manual and–boom!–I super-learned how to be a pilot.

What is an item on your bucket list?

Go to Antarctica and say hi to the penguins! I love penguins…these little wobbly, funny creatures in suits.

What are you passionate about at SAP?

Providing solutions and resources to new administrative personnel in using SAP systems to propel their success.

What’s your favorite thing about working at SAP?

The variety of people to work with. We are people who normally would not mix. However, we come together here at SAP.

If you could have one super power, what would it be?

To be able to turn off/on the super powers I already have. They sometimes get in the way of normal living.

What is an item on your bucket list?

To travel freely internationally and in peace.

What are you passionate about at SAP?

Genuinely helping our customers run better and run simple. I love helping companies challenge the status quo and look at their business from a new angle or perspective. Earning a customer’s trust and watching them succeed through SAP innovation drives me to continue to help our customers each and every day.

What’s your favorite thing about working at SAP?

My favorite thing(s) about working for SAP are the Pinkberry machines in Café 1 and Café 3 in Palo Alto. Just kidding, while I do love frozen yogurt, it’s even better to work with such a diverse group of multinational colleagues from all over the globe. Our customers are globalized like never before, so being able to collaborate with SAP colleagues from around the world to solve customer challenges brings a great sense of pride and teamwork.

If you could have one super power, what would it be?

The ability to bypass any and all traffic. After living in DC, Miami, and now the Bay Area, traffic is the bane of my existence and having the ability to part the red seas of auto congestion would improve my quality of life tenfold. In fact, I’d actually just go for teleportation, which would resolve the whole traffic issue and eliminate plane travel time. Yes, teleportation.

What’s one thing on your bucket list?

Own a house with a waterslide going from the master bedroom directly to the pool. The kid from the Disney movie “Blank Check” installed that in his house and ever since I was a child I’ve wanted to have one. Getting my wife’s approval on this one will be tough, but thankfully SAP invested in me to take the “Challenger Sales” course so I plan to use some skills from that to seal the deal.
