The executive team at ServiceNow has announced senior promotions. Ulrik Nehammer, a former Salesforce and Coca-Cola executive, will join ServiceNow as the new president of EMEA on February 1, 2022. (Europe, Middle East, and Africa).
Nehammer comes to ServiceNow from Salesforce, where he was most recently the CEO of APAC. He began working for Salesforce in 2017 as a Strategic Customer Advisor.
Nehammer was the Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola Germany before joining Salesforce. He joined Coca-Cola in 1992 and has worked in various management positions in the company and bottling operations while residing in seven different countries across Europe and Asia.
“ServiceNow is a ‘once in a lifetime’ company,” said Nehammer. “To me, today’s business is about serving not just our customers, but their customers too – making a difference to society – and that’s exactly what’s at the heart of ServiceNow.”
“I firmly believe that you can be the most capable leader, but without a team around you, you cannot achieve. I am humbled by the culture of ServiceNow and am excited to begin my next journey with the team here. We will accelerate the acceleration and build on the success to date.”
“Our global sales organization is well aligned to reach our goal of $15 billion and beyond. I’m humbled to be working with this incredible team,” said Smith. “And I’m pleased to be welcoming Ulrik Nehammer to ServiceNow as the new President of EMEA. Ulrik is a world-class global leader. His track record along with our talented EMEA team will continue to help solve the challenges of any customer at the CxO level.”
Paul Smith, the former president of EMEA, has been appointed to chief commercial officer. Paul will be responsible for all aspects of global sales, including sales enablement, value management, and global sales operations. Smith joined ServiceNow in July 2020 after holding high positions at Salesforce and Microsoft, and he quickly rose through the ranks to become a sales leader with extensive geographic knowledge and clout.
