Sven Kohlhaas

Hi there, I'm Sven Kohlhaas. Product, development, technology, and customer success executive with over a decade and a half of IT industry experience. Nevertheless, at heart, I'm a software engineer delivering customer value. I currently work as VP, SAP Product Lead at Redwood Software. When not at work, I'm a passionate race cyclist, as well as fitness, personal development, and finance enthusiast. I live near Walldorf, Germany.

Before my current role at Redwood, I worked for a couple years at Red Hat being responsible for the customer/partner success of SAP with their Red Hat product and services adoption and usage and before that over a decade in various roles at SAP. Those roles included software development manager in SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) with responsibilities across several software development teams in the area of SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry Runtime and SAP Private Link service, executive assistant and customer/partner officer of the head of SAP Cloud Platform Core with a 1000+ development organization, product manager for SAP Cloud Platform and SAP HANA Platform, and initially as software developer in the research center in Karlsruhe and in the labs in Palo Alto, CA, USA. Before SAP I worked for some local "hidden champions" in Germany in the manufacturing industry.

One of my great leisures is fitness. I love cycling and running, as well as weight training in the gym. In younger years I've done race cycling competitively, but nowadays my focus is on training for longevity, in particular maximizing healthspan, through a balanced program that incorporates, strength, endurance, and mobility.
