Morgan and Christian Klein became co-CEOs in October following the departure of Bill McDermott. Now, Klein is remaining as the sole occupant of the executive office. The company cited the current virus as triggering the move to provide “a. very clear leadership structure.”  SAP has a history of having CO-CEOS: Jim Hagemann Snabe and McDermott were leaders in tandem from Feb. 8, 2010 until Hagemann Snabe resigned the role when he was elected to the SAP Supervisory Board on May 21, 2014. SAP pictured the move to Klein as the sole leader as part of a plan that was accelerated. “The decision to transfer from Co-CEO to sole CEO model was taken earlier than planned to ensure strong, unambiguous steering in times of an unprecedented crisis,” the company said in announcing Morgan’s departure. If that were the plan, it wasn’t in the October 10 press release about Morgan and Klein taking the job. Morgan joined SAP in 2004 and rose quickly in the ranks and joined the executive board of SAP in 2017.
