DANIELA HALDY-SELLMANN
TITLE: SVP & GENERAL MANAGER OF ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES INDUSTRIES
COMPANY: SAP INDUSTRY: SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LOCATION: WALLDORF, GERMANY
Daniela’ s 13-year career at SAP has seen her transition to a number of areas. Her current role spans global P & L responsibility, industry solution management and strategic partnerships – aimed at delivering innovation and tangible value for customers.
For Matthias, the opportunity is clear. He says:“ AI, technology and digitalisation can empower organisations and governments to manage the complexities of renewable-based systems, ensure reliability and accelerate the clean energy transition smarter and more sustainably.”
Energy resilience and digital capability are becoming inseparable. Grids enhanced by AI and digital twins offer greater visibility, flexibility and efficiency – essential for managing fluctuating renewables and electric vehicle demand.
Yet regulatory barriers and legacy market designs continue to limit progress.
Building flexibility into energy markets According to the report, the future lies in flexibility markets – systems that allow real-time, cross-border management of renewable energy flows.
Collaboration between government and industry is emerging as a strategic must for these markets to scale effectively.
“ We’ re not just building infrastructure anymore. We’ re building flexibility markets. That’ s the only way to respond fast enough, cost-effectively, across borders,” says Daniela Haldy-Sellmann, SVP & General Manager of Energy and Natural Resources Industries at SAP.
