His passion for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and driving innovation within the SAP landscape was boundless, and his impact profound.
Working alongside Reg wasn’t just a task, it was a privilege,” says Duke Mathebula, AFSUG Chairman. “His unwavering dedication and invaluable contributions to both the AFSUG community and the broader SAP ecosystem will be sorely missed. We feel a deep sense of gratitude for the profound impact he had on our organization.
