Last week, I wrote a post about SAP NS2 and its CEO Mark Testoni, and how the German software giant managed to gain a foothold in providing technology for secure and sensitive U.S. government operations. What warrants elaboration here is the general nature of some of the work SAP NS2 is doing and, just as importantly, the amazing work SAP NS2 is doing to serve U.S. military veterans.
As I noted in that post, SAP NS2 was established in 2011 as a U.S. company that is independent of SAP, so it’s just as American as any other U.S. technology vendor. To further explain that, Testoni described the organization structure this way:
We have a board of directors that I work for, chaired by Frances Townsend, former Bush and Clinton administration [national security] appointee. We have three other outside board directors, and I’m one of three who are inside. The board provides the management structure over the company — SAP does not have the ability to do that. What SAP gets are the business results of what we do. It’s a really interesting model — it gives me what I would consider to be the best job in the world, because I have the ability, with the support of the board, to have wide-reaching authority to prosecute the business, to make investments.
