It's that time of the year again, when we announce the new additions to the SAP Mentors community. These new SAP Mentors are nominated by members of our SAP Community and beyond (for example by SAP partners, SAP teams, user groups, and other SAP Mentors), and represent some of the most influential and passionate people in our ecosystem. Some are veterans, while others may be new to the SAP Community.
Many thanks to the SAP Mentors Advisory Board (and Malin Liden who took my place while I was away during the selection process), and the Mentors Program team (Kati Fischer, Maria Farrales and Shilpa Krishnaswamy) for their valuable time spent reviewing all nominations and applications, shortlisting and selecting the new Mentors!
Please join me in congratulating and welcoming our newest SAP Mentors.

We're accepting nominations and applications to the SAP Mentors Program
all year round. As our database of candidates grow each year, we're fortunate to have such a large pool of experts to draw from and get to know. Our challenge for each selection round is to find not only the most passionate people, but also those in the SAP ecosystem where we lack representation. If you've submitted a nomination (or application), we thank you, and just want to tell you not to be discouraged if this candidate was not selected in this intake round. Please stay tuned for our next intake in August.
As we say "Welcome" to our new Mentors, I am also announcing and saying "THANK YOU!" to existing Mentors who are choosing to become Alumni starting this year:
