Michael started two unicorns. He's currently running 0G Labs (0g.ai), the first decentralized AI operating system. He's previously generated over $200 million in revenue and secured $200 million in venture capital. His strategic leadership guided over 650 employees through volatile markets and achieved remarkable customer satisfaction. He previously worked at Microsoft, SAP Labs, Bain, and Bridgewater Associates. He's been named a top technologist, top YC company, and top entrepreneur and featured in esteemed media outlets such as Entrepreneur, Bloomberg, Inc, Techcrunch, Forbes, and Cheddar TV.

Unser heutiger Gast wuchs als Tochter iranischer Einwanderer auf. Ihre Mutter war Verkäuferin und nach einer Ausbildung mit Anfang 40 dann Medizinisch-technische Radiologieassistentin, ihr Vater war Taxifahrer. Ihre Tochter sollte es besser haben und der Schlüssel dazu, so waren sich ihre Eltern sicher, sollte die Bildung und ganz konkret ein Studium sein. Sie hat an der Hochschule München sowohl einen Bachelor als auch einen Master of Science im Fach “Computer Science und Management absolviert. Bei Microsoft leitet sie heute den Bereich Customer Success Account Management für die Energie- sowie die Chemiebranche. Davor verantwortete sie als Head of Innovation den Innovationsbereich für das SAP Labs in München. Sie ist eine der einflussreichsten Meinungsmacherinnen der Wirtschaft und setzt ihre Stimme auf großen Bühnen, in den sozialen Netzwerken und in den Medien für mehr Diversität und Inklusion sowie modernere Kultur- und Führungsansätze in der Arbeitswelt ein. Ihr Buch „Von Quotenfrauen und alten weißen Männern“ erschien im August 2023 und stieg auf Platz 3 der SPIEGEL-Bestsellerliste ein. Sie wurde vom FOCUS Magazin als eine der 100 Frauen des Jahres 2022 ausgezeichnet. Business Insider nannte sie als eine der Top 25 Zukunftsmacherinnen, die die deutsche Wirtschaft verändern und prägen. Sie ist Trägerin der Europamedaille und erhielt 2022 den German Diversity Award. Im Klappentext ihres aktuellen Buches fasst sie ihre Botschaft so zusammen: “Ich habe eine gute und eine schlechte Nachricht. Die schlechte ist: Wir haben alle Vorurteile. Die gute: Wir sind ihnen nicht wehrlos ausgesetzt.” Seit über 6 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt - statt ihn zu schwächen. In fast 400 Folgen haben wir uns mit interessanten und interessierten Menschen darüber unterhalten, was sich für sie beim Thema Arbeit geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Was steht uns noch im Weg auf dem Weg zu einer besseren Arbeit und was können wir im Umgang miteinander verbessern? Wir sind uns ganz sicher, dass es gerade jetzt wichtig ist, über “New Work” zu sprechen, denn diese Idee wurde während einer echten Krise entwickelt. Wir suchen nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work - heute mit Annahita Esmailzadeh Annhitas Buch bekommt Ihr bei der Buchhandlung Eures Vertrauens und natürlich auch hier: https://rb.gy/k5xoz

“Leadership is really a generosity of spirit. When you care about not just yourself but you care about those around you, and you're willing to go that extra mile to make others around you successful, it becomes clear you are ready for leadership.” —Janaki KumarThroughout Season 1 of the series, we've been digging deeply into the hidden, and often surprising characteristics of leadership. Those leadership qualities—actually those human qualities—that don't come from a text book or a classroom. That's one of the themes I explore with my guests on this episode, Janaki Kumar and Stefanie Kubanek.Janaki Kumar is Head of Design at JP Morgan Chase's Commercial Bank, and previously was head of the Design and Co-Innovation Center at SAP Labs. A thought-leader on design-led innovation in the enterprise, Janaki co-authored the book Gamification at Work – Designing Engaging Business Software. She has spoken at numerous industry conferences and academic programs, including Stanford's Graduate School of Business where she teaches Customer Experience Design.Stefanie Kubanek is a New York and Munich-based designer and design educator whose work is inspired by her native-German roots and global perspective. After initially studying goldsmithing, Stefanie completed her Industrial Design studies at the Royal College of Art, and went on to spend a decade at the London office of Pentagram. In addition to running her own design consultancy, she is now Visiting Senior Lecturer at Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management in Ithaca, NY, and at Cornell Tech in NYC.

This company will likely ring a bell, especially if you're clearing your annual leave, submitting your taxi claims or an accountant working on your company's financial statements.  You may have guessed it by now -  we're talking to SAP. That's a company behind the enterprise resource planning or ERP systems companies use to manage their day-to-day activities like accounting, purchasing inventory, human resources and more.  With over 110,000 employees from over 160 countries, we want to find out how SAP views the global enterprise software market, which is expected to reach a market volume of US$376.40 billion by 2028, according to Statista.   Also, the company recently set up its first SAP Labs in Singapore last March, but what is the status right now? On Under the Radar, Drive Time's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian sat down with Eileen Chua, Managing Director, SAP Singapore for more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anamarie Huerta Franc is the head of SAP Labs US in Palo Alto. Her charter for one of the largest software companies in the world is an ambitious one - to build a collaborative community across the thousands of developers working in the United States on SAP's broad range of cloud-based software groups, which includes technologies such as Concur (expense management), SuccessFactors (human capital management) and Fieldglass (vendor management system). Hiring, motivating, and retaining employees has always been a challenge for software companies, but no more so than today when the demand for developers has never been higher and when companies are grappling with workplace and culture issues driven by COVID-19 and the evolving definitions and expectations of the workplace. One of Anamarie's charters is to challenge the traditional corporate assumptions that community and culture can only be built in a physical office and determine how to balance flexibility and accountability. As an example of Anamarie's efforts, she led SAP's hybrid workforce pilot program on its Palo Alto campus that involved 300 workers who put its new flex work model into practice. Teams worked in a hybrid fashion at home and in the office, using a new iOS app to help them utilize office space and have meaningful experiences when in the office. The program's goal was to determine the best approach to creating office spaces with high energy and high utilization. After working at SAP for over a decade, Anamarie shares her story along with many interesting insights and experiences.

HighlightsSAP for 20 years, started out in Basis administrationWorked at SAP Labs in Palo Alto, on how to deploy SAP in AWS (so cool)Became a devops lover — but ecosystem wasn't ready. Jumped into big data instead at Mindtree, then worked with Hadoop, VoraOperations are 3 buckets: build, run, changeSystem administrators have been somewhat underserved by UI/UX revolutions in SAP. There are hundreds of “Manage [X] Orders” Fiori apps, but no Basis apps.Disk space and start/stop are low-hanging fruit in the administrative automation spaceIf you follow Chris on Twitter, you'll quickly find about a hundred pics of him grinning at the camera for a selfie.The most mistakes happen in ops in: teams don't have a good handle on what they're supposed to actually do. Their purview. (If it's not functional or code, it's Basis).Currently playing with Kubernetes as development system units of buildWhat should the future look like? “There isn't one ring to rule them all.” There should be an API/set of web services that programmatically control SAP systems at the system level. From there, you can create and extend whatever you choose — then RunDeck can be used to configure a system. Prometheus can pull directly from the system.Money QuotesChrisI'm having a great time, basically playing with lots of things — anything that takes my interest as long as it has an automation focus to it.Not everything should be automated, but you have to go through that discovery process!It's about quality and consistency, not about speed.The bit that's getting really interesting is: how do we now layer in BTP?PaulYou're building a thing that builds things, you're making a factory factory!

At KubeCon 2016, Elliott had a moment to speak with SAP Labs' Nishi Davidson about some of the driving principles behind large-scale adoption of Kubernetes at SAP. Ecosystem partnerships tend to spring organically when thought-leading organizations agree that the same set of problems needs to be solved. As Nishi points out, secure, orchestrated service scaling is definitely one of those problems.

What are the keys to becoming a successful SAP developer? Why is SAP MII becoming such an important piece of functionality? And what do technical SAP folks need to learn from functional specialists and vice versa? In this podcast, Jon Reed of JonERP.com gets the answers to these questions with SAP Mentor Abesh Bhattacharjee of SAP Labs. In the debut of a podcast Jon and Abesh have been plotting since last December, Abesh shares the good news of the release of his new book on Implementing and Configuring SAP MII from SAP Press (co-authored by fellow SAP Mentor Dipankar Saha) and gives his insight on the importance of SAP MII and shop floor visibility to SAP users.

Every summer, the best and brightest science and engineering students from across the country and around the world spend a summer interning at Silicon Valley companies. This select bunch of students are mostly post-graduates with a handful of undergraduates. PARC, SAP Labs, Sun Labs, Microsoft Research, Google and HP Labs host a series of visits and social networking events. These events culminate in a visit to HP Labs and a reception for the students. I helped organize the visit to HP this year and took the opportunity to ask the students where they were from, which company they were interning at and a little about their research interests. To hear what excites the next generation of Silicon Valley scientists and engineers, click on the podcast icon below.

SAP development is changing rapidly, and this technical evolution is impacting both technical and functional SAP professionals. To get an inside look at the future of SAP development, Jon interviewed Thomas Jung, NetWeaver Product Manager with SAP Labs and an influential blogger on the SAP Developer Network. Jon asked Thomas about a number of "hot button" topics in the SAP development space, including the innovations of the CE environment and the modeling tools needed for eSOA-driven development, the impact of outsourcing and how to make your skills "outsourcing proof," why ABAP development is alive and well, and how's SAP's SDN and BPX communities are affecting how SAP professionals interact with SAP and enhance their skill sets. In this thirty-three minute interview, hosted by Jon Franke of SearchSAP.com, "the two Jons" and Thomas cover the following topics: - Thomas' role at SAP Labs and how his NetWeaver Product Management team is involved with the rollout of the NetWeaver product line and the interaction with SAP users at events and seminars. - Why the online communities have had such an effect on SAP development and how knowledge about SAP products and skills trends is disseminated. - Jon asks Thomas to explain why his presentation on "Updating Your ABAP Skills to NetWeaver 7.0" has been so well received at SAP conferences, and what the key adjustments a 4.6 SAP developer has to make to be effective in NetWeaver 7.x and eSOA environments. Thomas points out that one key aspect of the "SAP developer of the future" is simply mastering object-oriented programming and ABAP Objects - something you can get started on even while working on 4.x projects. - Frequently, Jon his from readers who ask him "is ABAP dead?" Thomas puts these fears to rest once and for all by explaining that ABAP is still very much a part of the NetWeaver development environment. He describes some of the situations where ABAP is more useful and some where Java-based tools are more relevant. ABAP works best for powering high-volume, core transactions and Java is ideal for "edge programming" where SAP is extending its functionality via Enterprise Services. But ABAP can be "opened up" as well, and many new SAP components are built partially or fully in ABAP. - The impact of offshoring - Thomas gives his take on which SAP projects are better suited for outsourcing and which development projects are more effective to have in-house. Thomas doesn't believe that it makes sense to outsource all SAP development projects, and he goes on to describe some of the ways that SAP programmers can make their skills "outsourcing proof": don't build a "wall" between you and the rest of the team, keep up on your knowledge, stay visible, and become known as the person who learns the latest SAP technical tools and shares them with others. - Thomas shares the highlights of the SAP Composition Environment (CE), including the integration between CE and the Enterprise Services Repository (ESR), Visual Composer, Guided Procedures, and the other bells and whistles of this EE 5 environment. - What is the makeup of the ideal SAP project team? Thomas puts on his CIO hat and talks about the kinds of people he would put on his SAP technical project team. More than anything, he'd be looking for self-starters who aggressively educate themselves through their involvement with SDN and other learning communities. He'd want to see a mixture of Internet, Java, and ABAP skills on the team, but more important than specific tools is an SAP technical team that can adapt to the pace of innovation. - In terms of "soft" business skills, Thomas places a high value on those who get outside their cubicles and interact with the project team, making an effort to transfer knowledge to other team members. Thomas believes that you can't get away with being a "cubicle coder," anymore. If you aren't needed on site, then you run the risk of being outsourced. One way to differentiate yourself is to know enough about the business to be able to help business users define their requirements and what they want to accomplish technically. - Thomas explains why the latest batch of modeling tools are catching on and why modeling is having such an impact on SAP development. There are two types of modeling tools: those that help business users model processes on a higher level without needing to program (Visual Programmers), and those that help programmers reduce repetitive programming tasks (Web Dynpro for Java being one example, and other modeling tools added to the NetWeaver Developer Studio and the ABAP Workbench being other examples). - Jon asks Thomas about SAP's eSOA strategy and how it is impacting development. Thomas agrees that eSOA will allow companies to build Enterprise Services using the language and platform of their choice, but he also notes that SAP is building some of the best SOA development and consumption tools on the market. - Jon Franke of SearchSAP asks Thomas about how business users can get more involved in these trends, and Thomas points out the BPX community, and how business users can get involved in a variety of ways, including through BPX's industry vertical communities. - Jon points out that Thomas' "Update Your ABAP Skills to NetWeaver 7.0" seminar is available on the Virtual TechEd '07 track on SDN (for a fee), and Thomas shares the forward schedule for when this workshop will be held next. - Thomas wraps the podcast with a compelling argument to avoid career panic in the face of new SAP technologies. He makes the point that SAP developers should follow their passions, and when you are the best at what you do, that's an excellent way "outsource-proof" your skills.

This is Jon Reed's "roaming podcast" from SAP TechEd '07, Day 4. Get Jon's unscripted reactions to the last full day of TechEd '07, including key info on SAP skills trends, becoming a Business Process Expert, and Jon's conference wrap. In this podcast, Jon ties together the themes he covered throughout SAP TechEd '07. Recorded right on the spot in conference rooms and hotel lobbies, Jon's TechEd podcast series puts the technology trends of TechEd '07 in the context of the skills SAP professionals will need to succeed. For the Day 4 podcast, Jon breaks down his "instant reactions" to technical themes such as eSOA, mashups, Web 2.0, BI, and becoming a Business Process Expert, and he comments on the SAP skills gap in these areas and how they will be filled. Topics in this part of the podcast include: - Which SAP skills sets are becoming commoditized and what the skills growth areas are. - A view of the "SAP skills of the future" but also a consideration of the skills needs of the present, and how SAP consultants should balance the two. - Why Jon is changing his stance from consultants needing to have an 80/20 technical-functional mix (one way or the other) to a 50/50 skills mix, which Jon thinks might be the ideal in the future. - Jon's reflections on the workshop on "Becoming a Business Process Expert" (BPE) and the tools that technical and functional consultants can pursue to becoming a BPE. - Jon explains why he divides SAP customers into three distinct groups and what he sees as the project priorities of each group - The different versions of NetWeaver that are coming out, and the conflicting information that SAP representatives gave Jon at TechEd about when certain releases and features were becoming available. Jon talks about the pending release of NetWeaver 7.1, and the questions about when SAP PI (Process Integration), Enterprise Services Repository (ESR), and NetWeaver CE (Composition Environment). - Jon covers why ABAP is not dead, and talks about the different conversations he had with folks from SAP Labs about how ABAP fits into SAP's NetWeaver plans. Jon gives his take on why ABAP is still part of SAP's plans, based on facts such as: the ABAP Workbench is still part of NetWeaver, that the PI component is partially built on ABAP, and that while the CE does not have ABAP, there are many ABAP-related tools still supported in NetWeaver, such as WebDynpro for ABAP and MDM for ABAP. - Jon talks about the different SAP modeling tools that are going to change the nature of SAP development and give business users a greater opportunity to get involved in development using visual modeling tools like Visual Composer, Aris for NetWeaver, and the upcoming SAP Eclipse Development tool. Jon talks about why he thinks this new generation of modeling tools is a big deal, and finally gives some teeth to the "extend the enterprise" ERP movement which actually began in the late '90s, but did not have the technical capabilities to really support it. - Jon wraps his four part podcast series on TechEd with a review of the conference as a whole and the bottom line implications for SAP professionals.
