Uhm, it’s quite easy to find foreigners in top positions at German companies, especially international ones. How many of SAP’s C-suite are even German? Not hard pressed at all.

Foreigners as in British, American, Swiss or Austrian? Or people from bulk of the immigrant population (Turkey, Romania, Poland, Greece..)

The former, but also throw in lots of Indians. Vishal was CTO of SAP before moving over to infosys.

Interesting - are there any particular studies about this in Germany?

Not sure, I’m going about it anecdotally, since I’m aware of foreigners in power at German companies, so at least it isn’t “hard pressed.”
