The long-time SAP employee moves into the role to focus on fast-tracking the company’s cloud adoption and integrating Business AI innovations to support customer goals.

Bryant takes on the role after holding the head of SAP SuccessFactors in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) role for almost two years.

Bryant’s role reports directly to Liher Urbizu, chief business officer of SAP APJ and he will continue to be based in Melbourne.

He said on LinkedIn he was “humbled and privileged” to join the “APJ senior executive team to help our customers to bring out the best in their people through supporting an agile and resilient workforce, enabled by Business AI.” 

“A huge thank you to Angela Colantuono who has been my direct leader and friend over the last 6 years”.

Colantuono was recently appointed as SAP’s president and managing director for the Australian and New Zealand arm of the business.

“I will continue to be based in Melbourne and very much look forward to coming together with our regional teams, customers, and partners from this point,” Bryant added.
