In 1981, the German joined SAP from Siemens. At Siemens, he worked as an application consultant for SAP R\/2 business processes.<\/p>\n<p>A graduate in business administration, he took over the SAP Executive Board seat in 1996 and has been the company's Chief Operating Officer (COO) since 2011. Oswald lives on the outskirts of Walldorf.<\/p>\n<p>He supports local clubs, runs a golden retriever kennel with his wife, and farms a vineyard with excellent results.<\/p>\n<p>Like Bernd Leukert, Oswald is an avid soccer player and can often be found at matches of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, the soccer club of SAP co-founder Dietmar Hopp.<\/p>\n<p>Oswald also enjoys a second \"ball sport\": he is considered a very good golfer. His extensive SAP knowledge and familiarity with the SAP community made him a superstar at every DSAG annual congress.<\/p>\n<p>A German-speaking SAP community without Oswald was and is hardly imaginable.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36294\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36294\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
