At the age of two, Snabe and his parents moved to the Greenland capital of Nuuk for seven years, where his father worked as a helicopter pilot. From 1984 to 1990 he studied Operations Research at the Aarhus School of Business[6]. Currently, Snabe lives in Copenhagen with his wife and two children.

Career

Snabe started his career at SAP AG in 1990. After one year as a trainee, he became Consulting Manager for SAP Denmark. In 1994 Snabe left SAP to be Principal at IBM Denmark but returned to SAP after only two years[7].

SAP

After three years as Managing Director of the Swedish SAP subsidiary, Snabe was appointed Managing Director of the SAP Nordic region. Shortly thereafter, he held several management positions for the SAP EMEA region[7]. From July 2008 on, Snabe was part of the executive board of SAP. After the departure of Léo Apotheker, Snabe and his colleague McDermott took on the position as Co-CEO for SAP AG on February 8, 2010[4].

On July 21, 2013, it was announced that he would leave the position of Co-CEO in 2014 to be part of the SAP Supervisory Board. On the SAP Annual General Assembly on May 21, 2014, he was elected to the Supervisory Board[5].

Other Notable Positions

In April 2016, Snabe joined the board of directors at A.P. Møller – Mærsk, of which he became chairman in March 2017[8].

On February 1st, 2017, it was announced that he would be proposed as the new chairman of the Siemens supervisory board. In February 2018, Snabe replaced Gerhard Cromme as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Siemens AG[2][9].

He is currently also a member of the board for Allianz SE[1][2] and the World Economic Forum[10][11].

Due to his experience from positions in large international organizations, Snabe is a sought-after speaker and Adjunct Professor at Copenhagen Business School in the fields of leadership, responsible business and change management[12].

In 2017, Snabe wrote the book “Dreams and Details: Reinvent Your Business and Your Leadership from a Position of Strength” together with Mikael Trolle[13][14][15]. Drawing from their leadership experience, Snabe and Trolle set out to offer a new leadership model, which unites inspiration, ambition, innovation and employee empowerment to succeed in the modern world[13][14][15][16]. The model builds on Snabe’s conviction that businesses have to reinvent themselves in order to combine profits with responsible and sustainable conduct[10][17]. In November 2018, Snabe and Trolle founded the Dreams and Details Academy, aiming to change leadership through consulting and educational services[16].
