WALLDORF - SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced that Madhur Aggarwal has been appointed the general manager of SAP Digital Commerce, reporting to Chief Digital Officer Jonathan Becher.

In this role, Aggarwal is responsible for driving the growth and direction of SAP's direct-to-consumer business, allowing anyone to buy and use SAP and third-party offerings with minimal human interaction. So far, nearly 115,000 orders have been placed across all digital commerce channels, including SAPStore.com.

'In those roles, he's demonstrated extraordinary passion and dedication to SAP's digital success.'
