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

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.

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

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!

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

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. :-) )

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

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

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!
