SAP Fioneer strengthens leadership team with two senior appointments

Walldorf, Germany – July 9, 2026 – SAP Fioneer, leading global provider of financial services software solutions and platforms, today announced two senior leadership appointments in line with the management structure introduced in January 2026. The appointments strengthen SAP Fioneer’s leadership presence in key international markets and support the company’s continued global growth ambitions.   

Tom Pfaff will join SAP Fioneer as Co-CEO Finance, with a focus on the Americas and APAC. He joins from Standard Chartered Bank, where he served as Chief Operating Officer for Group CFO, leading Operations and an industry-leading transformation across Singapore and London. Prior to Standard Chartered, he held similar roles at the RBS, Credit Suisse and JP Morgan. He brings extensive experience in a high-growth U.S. market, together with regulatory expertise gained at a global Tier 1 bank operating across complex, multi-jurisdictional environments, as well as a strong understanding of how SAP Fioneer’s products are applied by clients in practice. 

Additionally, Tom Sturley has signed with SAP Fioneer as Co-CEO Lending. He joins from Accenture, where he was a Managing Director and part of the firm’s Financial Services industry leadership, bringing a long-standing tenure and deep domain expertise in the lending sector. Over the course of his 19 years at Accenture, Tom has led numerous large-scale strategic transformation programs for financial services clients in the UK, EMEA and globally. He has also held a number of internal leadership roles including responsibility for Accenture’s Financial Services industry work with Salesforce, and Commercial & SME Banking lead for UK & Ireland. 

Both additions to the management roster follow the appointment of Supratim Ghose as Co-CEO Banking earlier this year. Since its launch in 2021, SAP Fioneer has grown significantly in both size and revenue, achieving four consecutive years of revenue and profit growth across the entire platform. 

“Our ambition is clear: to become the leading global partner for financial services software and that starts with being close to our customers in every market we serve. Deep local market knowledge is what allows us to understand our customers’ challenges and grow alongside them. This is the foundation for SAP Fioneer’s next phase of growth”, comments Matthias Tomann, CEO of SAP Fioneer.  

“I have seen the power of SAP Fioneer’s solutions in action and look forward to bringing these capabilities to financial institutions across the Americas“, says Tom Pfaff.  

“Financial institutions need a partner who understands their business, moves at their pace and delivers great technology at speed and scale. SAP Fioneer does exactly that and I am looking forward to continuing that success story together with the team“, adds Tom Sturley.
