What do you enjoy the most about being in your industry?
Really, the growth within the industry is significant. Although this industry has been around for a couple of years, it's only getting bigger.
When I first came to SAP, we had a reorganization of the whole team because the president stepped down. My team, which was business technology platforms, was moved to the chief technology office.
This has given me many opportunities to work with cool teams and see different applications of business analytics, AI, data science, and similar fields. It's shown me how they all intertwine well.
This experience has motivated me to explore different paths within the analytics industry.
