Following his service in the Army, Mahan was senior director of Government Solutions at The Home Depot, where he led both the Defense Programs and Operations elements of the Government Solutions Group.
“I look forward to contributing my knowledge and experience in military operations, disaster relief and logistics to SAP’s continued growth in the industry,” said Mahan. “SAP has a proven record of providing solutions that are the best-suited for the needs of our national, state and local public services agencies and I am proud to join such a strong team.”
