Cawa Younosi
HR Executive

Cawa Younosi is one of the most important German HR Executives, a LinkedIn TOP Voice, Germany’s 40 HR Minds, Germany’s HR Influencer No. 1 and is known for his innovative leadership at SAP Germany. Cawa Younosi has revolutionised the world of work with his approach that companies must adapt to the needs of their employees. Born in 1975, Younosi came to Germany as a refugee and initially made a name for himself as an employment lawyer. At SAP, he headed the global HR organisation until October 2023 and championed a trust-based work culture. He is also known for his commitment to promoting integration and job placement for refugees. Today, Cawa stands like no other for a new way of thinking in the world of work and in dealing with employees. For him, the focus is on people’s individual needs and circumstances, not on the requirements of dusty and outdated corporate principles. So he sets up a regulars’ table for fathers, organises a dog-walking service for his staff and turns 75% working hours into the new standard for management. His most important resource: trust in his employees, because that creates personal responsibility. And that is where success comes from. He himself is the best proof of this. With his life, he stands for the change in culture and values that he wants to create in companies. He is driven by his can-do mentality: just get started and do it! Even the things that no one has done before.
