SAP names head of AI for ANZ

SAP has grown its leadership team in ANZ with the appointment of Lee Marshall as head of AI for ANZ.

He joins from Microsoft, where he was most recently a senior solution engineer (presales) for AI business solutions.

He has also held roles at Salesforce and PWC.

"I'm incredibly excited to join SAP, which I like to say is the company that runs other companies and organisations," said Marshall.

"Utilising SAP's Business AI, embedded in the most critical business processes, we have the unique ability to support organisations to derive the most value with minimum friction. I don't see anyone else with as strong a business value proposition when it comes to AI, so it's very exciting to join SAP at a time when the speed of innovation is staggering."
  
SAP is embedding Business AI directly into its enterprise cloud portfolio, and by uniting SAP Business Suite, SAP Data Cloud, and SAP Business AI, the company claims customers can gain end-to-end integration, where applications generate data, data trains AI and AI continuously optimises applications.
