NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. - - SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced the appointment of Robert Courteau as president of its North America region.

His stations include COO for SAP North America, where he led areas such as channel sales of solutions for small and midsize enterprises (SMEs), industry-specific solutions and business “value engineering” for customers; and executive vice president responsible for revenues generated from business intelligence (BI) solutions from the SAP® BusinessObjects™ portfolio. He joined SAP in 2004 as president and managing director of SAP Canada.

During more than 20 years in the technology industry, Courteau has held many executive and senior management positions with a variety of multinational corporations and industry pioneers. This experience included his roles as executive vice president, EDS Corporation and at Xerox Corporation, where he served as a North American divisional vice president and general manager.
