Alex Joseph

Enterprise software professional with 12 years experience in strategy, software development, product management, and corporate development

Passionate about software. Was the lead engineer of a SaaS start-up in San Francisco and led all parts of product development from design, user experience, specs, coding and production, managing a small team. After the business degree from Stanford, joined SAP at head quarters in Germany in the Corporate Strategy Group – an internal McKinsey/ BCG. Several Board-sponsored projects with extensive executive interaction gave deep insights into the enterprise software market and strategy of its market leader. I later joined the product management group of SAP Business Suite and later on-demand apps in Palo Alto, to pursue the passion of building products. Developed several innovative on-demand product concepts and specs in business networks, e-payment, and finance for end-user. Realizing the need for leveraging start-ups for innovative solutions, I moved to Strategic Business Development to identify companies to invest and build a solution blueprint to help accelerate SAP strategic goals.
