Global Network of 12 User Groups Well-Positioned for Continued Success
The SAP User Group Executive Network (SUGEN), a global network of 12 SAP user groups that works collaboratively with SAP to provide a collective view of customers' strategic issues, today announced its newly elected leadership team.
To improve the organization's ability to influence SAP's solutions and services delivery and enable best practices on product strategy and product development, SUGEN members voted to expand the core team from three to five members. Additionally, Tonnie van der Horst, president of the Dutch-speaking user group VNSG, was elected chairman. The SUGEN core leadership team now consists of:
- Tonnie van der Horst – VNSG (Netherlands)
- Otto Schell – DSAG (Germany)
- Per Högberg – SAPSA (Sweden)
- Bridgette Chambers – ASUG (North America)
- William Khalil – SUG-MENA (Middle East/North Africa)
- Mike Stoko – ASUG (North America)
"On behalf of the entire team, I look forward to building on our successes and continuing our mission of working collaboratively with each other and with SAP to advance and apply technology for the greatest gain of the worldwide SAP customer community," said van der Horst.
Ending his two-year term as chairman, Mike Stoko, who continues as a member of the core team, adds, "I am confident that the newly elected leadership team will continue to identify areas where SUGEN can have a strategic impact and drive the market towards innovation and success."
