Bill is the first American CEO of SAP in the Career section. WSJ covered this in an article: [1]
In addition to being CEO of SAP, he is a leader in the industry due to his expertise and involvement in communities/industries of importance to SAP. He is on the board of Under Armour [2] and ANSYS. [3]
He is also a member of the Business Roundtable [4] and European Roundtable of Industrialists. [5] Bill’s memberships are mentioned currently in his German Wikipedia article [6] so we’d like to reflect this in the English version as well.
In 2015, he won the Visionary Award for his commitment to fighting AIDS. The Visionary Award is listed as a major initiative on the We Are Family Foundation Wikipedia article. Previous winners include Tommy Hilfiger and Susan and David Rockefeller Jr. [7]
He has also been active in The Children's Aid Society, which stresses the importance of education in overcoming poverty. [8] Bill’s philanthropic efforts and civil service are mentioned currently in his German Wikipedia article [9] so we’d like to reflect this in the English version as well.

He published “Winners Dream: A Journey from Corner Store to Corner Office” with Joanne Gordon (Simon & Schuster) in October 2014. [1]. It was on the USA Today Bestseller List [2], Publisher’s Weekly Bestseller List [3], and LA Times Bestseller List. [4] It also won the Axiom Business Book Award for memoir/biography. [5]
