Carsten Bonnen

Carsten Bönnen received his M.A. in Computer Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science and Psychology in Germany in 2001 and started to work at SAP that same year. Starting as a Java developer and trainer he soon became a consultant and led strategic projects in the then new field of Enterprise Portals. By the end of 2002, he chose to pursue this path by becoming a Product Manager for the SAP NetWeaver Portal. A year later, he took on the responsibility for a new product which later became known as Visual Composer. Subsequently, he managed the complete UI topic in his area. Looking for a new challenge in 2008, he joined the Microsoft Strategic Alliance Management group that oversees the strategic alliance between SAP and Microsoft. Carsten remained in this role for 4 years before he joined the Gateway Product Management team in 2012. Since the beginning of 2016 he is a Product Manager for SAP API Management.

Beyond his business-specific activities at SAP, he founded the first SAP karate group in 2005 which he continues to lead today. He is a trainer for self-defense and published already one book on that topic (as by now only in German though).
