Léo pharmacist

Léo Apotheker (born September 18, 1953 in Aachen ) is a German manager and was CEO of the American technology group Hewlett-Packard from 2010 to 2011 . Before that, he was CEO of SAP AG until February 7, 2010 .

Life

Léo Apotheker's parents come from near the Ukrainian- Polish border. They survived the Holocaust as Jews by fleeing to the Russian-Chinese border. After the end of the war, the family moved to Aachen. Apotheker grew up in Antwerp , then studied international relations and economics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from 1972 .

After working for the payment system SWIFT and the management consultancy McCormack & Dodge, he started working for SAP in 1988. He was then the founder - and from 1992 to 1994 COO - of the software company specialized risk capital company ECsoft, and from 1994 to 1995 managing partner of the management consultancy ABP Partners.

In 1995 he returned to SAP. There he built up the business in south-western Europe, headed sales in Europe from 1999 to 2002, and from 2002 was a member of the board responsible for global sales and marketing. After Shai Agassi left in March 2007, Apotheker was appointed deputy spokesman for the board, and in April 2008 he was appointed co-chairman of the board alongside Henning Kagermann . Since Henning Kagermann left at the end of May 2009, he has been the sole spokesman for the board. In February 2010, the SAP Supervisory Board announced that the contract with the previous CEO, Léo Apotheker, had not been extended. This was justified later by SAP supervisory board chairman Hasso Plattner with a loss of trust among employees and customers. Apotheker then resigned with immediate effect.

On November 1, 2010, Apotheker became CEO of the US technology group Hewlett-Packard ; from this position he was replaced on September 22, 2011 and replaced by Meg Whitman . The reasons for this were the failed attempt to establish the tablet PC TouchPad with the webOS mobile operating system on the market, as well as its split-up plans, which led to a price loss of 45% for the HP share. Apotheker received over $ 7 million in severance payment. In 2015, HP was split up by pharmacist's successor Whitman.

Apotheker is a member of the supervisory board of the French insurance group AXA . On June 1, 2012, he was appointed to the supervisory board of the IT service provider Steria Mummert Consulting . Since May 18, 2016, he has also been Non-Executive Chairman at Signavio GmbH, a German software manufacturer headquartered in Berlin.

Apotheker speaks German, Dutch, French, English and Hebrew fluently. He has his primary residence in Paris , is married and has two children.

Supervisory board mandates

He currently has (Nov. 20, 2012) Supervisory Boards of Schneider Electric , Steria Mummert Consulting , GT Nexus and KMD A / S .
