Bernd,

It has been a real pleasure working with you and getting to know you over the last 2 years. You have always been someone who would step in and help out when needed, even when that meant long hours. Your dedication and honesty have been amazing to see and the team will not be the same without you. I hope you get to enjoy the retirement you deserve and see all of the wonderful sites we talked about. Good luck and let me know if you ever get to the UK and we can have a beer

Thanks

Phil

Dear Bernd, It was great to know you and collaborate with you serving our partners jointly. You helped me to expand my horizon of Analytics from just SAP tools to Microsoft :-). Thank for you for this and many other wonderful discussions and moments in our team. Wish you very best in your next chapter and enjoy your retired life with great health and peaceful moments.

Dear Bernd, I am glad we had a chance to finally meet in person before your departure from SAP. It was good to catch up and know that we had our first call way back 10 years ago!! ??. Thanks for everything you have done for me and the team.

Wish you all the best with your travel plans and whatever you plan to do next. Keep in touch. Looking forward to the updates...Take care...

Bernd,

I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate you on your retirement and to say a heartfelt thank you.  It’s been a real pleasure working alongside you over the years supporting SAP Partners.  Your deep knowledge, steady leadership, and collaborative spirit made a lasting impact—not just on the team, but on me personally.

You’ve truly earned this next chapter, and I hope it's filled with great adventures, relaxation, and all the things you’ve been looking forward to.  Please stay in touch, and don’t be a stranger!

Wishing you all the best,

Jose

Bernd, thank you for making SAP make sense through your dashboards, reports, and explainers - especially when it came to breaking down ISBN! You will be missed - really not sure what we will do without you LOL but I hope you spend your retirement doing exactly as you wish, you have more than earned it! Take care and don't forget about us!

Dear Bernd, From our first meeting in Miami years ago to an awesome reunion in WDF and all the virtual calls over the years between them, you were always someone I could trust to be kind, collaborative, thoughtful, responsive, and intentional. While we all remember you for your amazing dashboards as of late, I know there are many other roles you've had in 29 years at SAP that you'll be known for, but I believe above all else, people will remember you for how you made them feel. You will be missed, Bernd, but you are living the dream -- have a wonderful time on your adventures, enjoying your wife and kids and new sights and scenes!! Wishing you the best, always. Cheers, Jodie

Hi Bernd,

Congratulations on your retirement!

It's been only a brief time that we have worked together but it was nonetheless a pleasure.

Enjoy your travels and new adventures. (Remember that nothing is something worth doing as well. :-) )

P.S.

Be sure to drop your email to me so you can get setup on learning hub, student edition :)

Dear Bernd,

Thank you for the positivity, dedication, and thoughtful contributions you've brought to our work. Your impact will be felt long after... especially every time we look at a dashboard and wonder, “What would Bernd optimize here?”

Wishing you all the best in this next chapter, enjoy your well-deserved retirement!

Warm regards from all of us

Hello there Bernd, Funny how someone you've only met twice in person feel like an old friend! There is something about our connection that's made our conversation so effortless. That last round of drink(s) in this exact spot in the picture was the one to remember! Still thinking about how our laughing fit (Totally Rodger's fault)practically emptied the bar. I'll never forget you saying if we'd get to hangout more often, you would never retired : )

Congrats on starting your new chapter! You've definitely earned it! Something tells me our paths will cross again, picking up right where we left off. Until next time, Tippy

Hi Bernd, Congratulations on your retirement! Working with you over the last 5 years has been an absolute pleasure. But more important is the friendship that we have developed over the years. Sharing cigars, bourbon and recipes are memories I will keep forever. Also, a jar of honey is on the way.

All the best,

Steve

Beeeerrrrnnnndddddd !!!

Enjoy the global travels as a sedentary nomad, my good man! Yes, a SEDENTARY NOMAD, what an oxymoron! Quite similar to our "manually-automated" processes to create our dashboards for example :-)

Cheers mate!
