Beeby has worked for SAP Concur for seven years, most recently as regional sales director.

He previously worked as business development manager at Markinson Business Solutions, and as a helicopter pilot and instructor.

"Many large and small organisations alike have been doing it tough over the past couple of years. I look forward to working with businesses to help them find new ways to use IT automation to drive innovation and growth," said Beeby.

"We continue to refine SAP Concur's travel, expense, and invoice management solutions to meet the current need for organisations to achieve greater cost and operational efficiency gains and to help businesses digitally transform and adapt to the new business landscape."

He added "By necessity, organisations have become more agile and are now better able to respond to changing economic conditions. However, they need the right tools that provide both real-time visibility across the organisation and let the business quickly shift when the market takes a sharp turn.

"SAP Concur works with enterprise and government organisations every day to determine the best approach to managing changing issues around employee travel, expenses, and supplier invoices."
