History

SAP Concur was co-founded by Mike Hilton and brothers Rajeev Singh and Steve Singh.[5] It was headed by Mike Eberhard from November 2016 until April 2019, when he stepped down and was replaced by Jim Lucier as company president.[6][7][8] SAP Concur is a part of SAP's Business Network Group,[9] beside SAP Ariba and SAP Fieldglass.

The company is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, with additional offices in Eden Prairie and St. Louis Park, Minnesota, Allen, Texas, and Vienna, Virginia, in the USA, as well as in Asia, Australia, and Europe.[10]
