“Over the last 25/30 years of my career, I have taken the mantra of learning more, growing more, and doing more with those I play with artificial intelligence, otherwise known as A.I. Cloud computing and the benefits around it for SAP,” Christopher explains. His journey is a living, walking example of the endless possibilities that technology offers ashecontinuestoadvanceandinnovateinaneverchanginglandscape.

EmpoweringGrowth

“When SAP started utilizing in-memory database activity and started moving towards HANA, and the future wave was coming, I was inspired to start the company,” Christopherrecalls.Alreadyimmersedincloudtechnology andfascinatedbyArtificialIntelligence,hesawan opportunitytoalignhispassionswiththeadvancing landscapeoftechnology.

Christopherexplains,“What value and the company’s mission and vision under my leadership is an excellent question because I believe in helping others to achieve their goals no matter whether it’s a partner, a client, a staff member, or someone that I’ve just met at a conference.”He adds,“I genuinely am trying to help educate them and build them up in our ecosystem.”Hisdedicationtoempowering othersreflectsthecoreethosofhisleadership,drivingthe companyforwardwithacommitmenttocollaborationand growth.

DrivingCollectiveProgress

“I am constantly trying to promote excellence within our team members by helping them learn, grow, and move forward with their path,” Christopher emphasizes. “It does not have to be my path or the company’s path, but it needs to be one, and together, it is something that truly benefits them, moves them forward, assists them, and helps them become better at what they do.”

RevolutionizingITMonitoringwithAI

“AI and chatbots are transforming the IT landscape, particularly within cloud computing and SAP solutions,” Christophernotes.“They will take on the role of menial tasks. They will indeed be the ones going in there maintaining and monitoring, providing essential basic support to the entire landscape.”

ChristopherdescribesthefunctionalityofOverwatch,an AI-basedtool,asfollows:“That tool is an AI-based tool that monitors the entire landscape, whether it is SAP, Oracle, or any other tools in the landscape. It continuously monitors 24/7, 365; we do not have to have employees’eyes on every entity, port, database, or table. The application does that for us.”Thisinnovativeapproachstreamlines managementandmonitoringprocesses,markinga significantshiftintheITindustry’slandscape.

PrioritizingChallenges

“Every day brings its share of challenges, ranging from minor to life-altering,”Christopherreflects.“You must pick the most important ones and move forward on that one first. Minor tasks can be offloaded to other staff members.”

Hesays,“Major tasks need to fall on your shoulders, but you always have to make the decision, and you need to be the one who can solve the problem as the CEO. The more complex the challenge, the more it falls on you and the less complicated you can push off to other staff members to make less critical decisions.”AsaCEO,navigatingthese challengesrequiresstrategicprioritizationanddecisiveness toensureeffectiveproblem-solvingandbusinesscontinuity

“Would it be wrong of me to say world domination in the SAP and artificial intelligence world? That’s a little

arrogant, but I want to continue to have our organization in the leader’s quadrant for SAP,”Christophermuses.

“Well, I’ll always be known as the guy who launched the first SAP cloud at Sapphire, so that’s fun,”Christopher reflects.“I’m also very fortunate that I have an incredible company, and I think the legacy will move on whether it is a standalone entity or acquired in the years ahead.”Healso notesthatonethingwillalwaysbeknown:Christopher

Passion,PerseveranceandSacrifice

“The first thing is to jump out there, get in place, create your tool, create your company, and go at it. Do it if you have a passion, and if you have a drive, go and do it,” Christopheradvises.“I’ve done it several times and am doing it with multiple companies, but you must have a passion and be willing to sacrifice. I’ve offered for 30 years everything from missing birthdays for my daughters to missing events around my family.”

Heemphasizestheimportanceofdedicationand perseverance,noting, “What will you do when you’re making a ten-day trip to Europe and it gets extended? Will you pout and cry about it, or will you do it and do the hard work needed to succeed? If you can’t put in the hard work without whining and crying about it, then you don’t deserve to be an entrepreneur, and you will never have the passion for succeeding.”Christopher’scandidadviceunderscores therealityofentrepreneurship,highlightingthenecessityof commitmentandresilienceinachievingsuccess.
