Rise with SAP enables you to transform your business, holistically, on-your-terms and on-your-timeline. You can design the strategy that's right for you, while SAP and partners, join forces, to provide you a guided transformational journey. 
Which is why, I am very excited to welcome Enrico Schuch to our podcast today, as he is a pro at explaining “Rise with SAP” in simple terms, with easy-to-understand practical use cases.
Enrico is a home-grown SAP talent and began his SAP career as a working student. SAP recognized his talents and passion for sales and offered him a role in S/4HANA Specialized Sales. 
In parallel, he pursued a full-time master’s program in supply chain and logistics, while also working full-time and completed the program as the best student of his class. 
Since then, Enrico worked his way up to the RISE with SAP demand generation lead for Middle and Eastern Europe with a dedicated focus on the midmarket. And in a full-circle moment, Enrico currently leads a team of 15 working students. 
As always, my name Akshi Mohla, and you’re listening to SAP Experts Podcast.
