SAP Says North America President Robert Courteau Has Resigned

Dow Jones News
Enterprise software maker SAP AG (SAP.XE) Thursday confirmed
that Robert Courteau, president of the company's important North
America region, has left the company after little more than a year
in the position.
Courteau left at his own request, an SAP spokesman told Dow
Jones Newswires, without providing more details on the manager's
departure.
In his latest role, Courteau was responsible for all of SAP's
business operations in the U.S., which is also home of rival Oracle
Corp. (ORCL), and Canada. He was appointed North America president
in January 2011 to succeed Robert Enslin, who back then was
promoted to SAP's president of global sales.
Enslin will take over Courteau's responsibilities on an interim
basis, according to the SAP spokesman.
Nomura analysts said the departure is probably not a signal
regarding SAP's first-quarter performance. "SAP has a recent
history of strong performance in the Americas region," Nomura wrote
in a note.
