SAP places AI operations directly under CEO oversight in second 2026 restructuring

SAP announced a second major organizational restructuring in 2026 placing AI operations directly under CEO Christian Klein's control with unified management of product and engineering functions, according to CIO. The move follows an earlier March 2026 restructuring and occurs following the announced non-renewal of board member Muhammad Alam's contract in March 2027, with SAP seeking external talent for a new product leadership role while continuing to accelerate its transformation toward an autonomous enterprise model.
