SAP: Steering Business into the AI Era

From its early days building ERP systems in Germany, SAP has evolved to become a backbone of global business. Today, many of the largest companies in the world depend on SAP systems to run everything from financial accounting and supply chain management to e-commerce and data analytics, making the company’s strategic choices uniquely consequential. When Christian Klein became CEO in 2020, he made a bold call: Move SAP decisively into the cloud and prepare the company for an AI‑driven future. Now, he argues that while AI is rapidly advancing, its effectiveness depends on a few things only SAP can offer at scale. In this episode of Exceptional Leaders, European Software analyst Adam Wood sits down with Klein at SAP’s headquarters in Waldorf, Germany to discuss SAP’s cloud shift, its AI ambitions, and why human insight and collaboration still matter—even as intelligent agents become ubiquitous.

Coca-Cola: Building a Company That Can Adapt with James Quincey

On this episode of Exceptional Leaders, host Dara Mohsenian, Morgan Stanley’s U.S. beverage and household products analyst, speaks with James Quincey, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. Together, they discuss the leadership and cultural decisions that have helped Coca-Cola evolve at global scale—building an organization designed to adapt in moments of disruption and to grow across shifting consumer preferences. Quincey shares how The Coca-Cola Company became a “total beverage company,” why “culture eats strategy,” and what it takes to turn a transformation from an idea into daily execution. They also explore the company’s long runway in emerging markets through Quincey’s “two bottles” framework, and how experience operating in volatile regions shaped his emphasis on agility, judgment, and management development. With a leadership transition ahead as Quincey prepares to step into the role of Executive Chairman, the conversation offers a clear view into what must endure at The Coca-Cola Company: a mindset built for change, and a culture strong enough to outlast any one leader.
