On this episode of Fortune’s Leadership Next podcast, host Diane Brady talks to one of the youngest CEOs in the Fortune 500, SAP's Christian Klein. They discuss what Klein has learned in his first five years as CEO, how regulation of technology hinders innovation, and the challenges of transforming a company.

"What you have to admit, even as a technology CEO, is that you cannot transform a company just by implementing new technology. This is key," said Klein. "You have to change oftentimes how people work, how we code software, how we deliver software, how we sell. And then it's a cultural change."
