Stefan Riedle becomes new Quality Director of SAP Switzerland

Stefan Riedle has been with SAP for 21 years - an exceptionally long period of time in which he has developed from a senior consultant to a central pillar in quality management. In various functions, he has supported numerous major customers in minimizing risks, raising quality standards and realizing business added value. His deep familiarity with SAP technologies, his analytical approach and his broad network would make him the ideal candidate for the new role, according to the statement. «With Stefan Riedle, Swiss Quality Management is gaining a leader who knows SAP, our customers and our processes like no other,» emphasize Sabrina Storck and Thomas Schreitmüller, Co-Managing Directors of SAP Switzerland. «His analytical approach, his calmness and his ability to make complex issues understandable are key success factors for the further development of our quality work.»

After training at a technical high school and at the University of Applied Sciences Konstanz Technology, Business and Design (HKTWG) to become a qualified IT specialist, he started his practical career at Océ Document Technologies. After two years of training at Océ, he moved to SAP in Switzerland, to which he has remained loyal to this day. After several years in business technology consulting, he grew into quality management in various positions.

In his new role, Riedle would like to focus on three areas in particular: ensuring high quality standards, further increasing customer satisfaction and strengthening trust in SAP in the long term. «For me, quality is not an end state, but a continuous process - in the product, in service and in cooperation with our customers,» says Stefan Riedle. «I look forward to taking the next steps together with our team.»

Stefan Riedle is married, has two children and lives with his family in eastern Switzerland. He enjoys spending time with his family, playing billiards, practicing jiu-jitsu and, when there is time left over, looking after his 1992 Ford Bronco. He is also involved in clubs, including youth work.

The change of roles is also associated with the departure of Sabine Brändle and Uwe Neuendorf, who are both retiring after many years of service to quality management at SAP Switzerland. With their commitment and professionalism, they have made a decisive contribution to the further development of the Active Quality Management team.
