About Me

Dietmar Hopp left IBM with four colleagues in 1972 to launch German enterprise software company SAP (Systems, Applications, Products). He served as co-CEO from 1988, the year SAP went public, to 1998 and then as chairman of the supervisory board until 2003. In 1996, he transferred most of his SAP shares to a charitable foundation. That entity, Dietmar Hopp Stiftung, supports sports, medicine, education and social programs, and has distributed around $1 billion since its start. Hopp and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are investors in CureVac, a German developer of vaccines for a range of diseases including Covid-19.
