“The window is open right now. It won’t be open forever.”

Who is Moritz Zimmermann?
Moritz Zimmermann is one of the founders of modern enterprise e-commerce. He co-founded Hybris in 1999 and built it into the category-defining platform that powered thousands of the world’s largest manufacturers, retailers, and brands as digital trade became foundational. In 2013, Hybris was acquired by SAP, where Moritz served as Chief Technology Officer and shaped how global enterprises run commerce at scale.
Today, Moritz is a partner at 42CAP, working with the next generation of enterprise software companies. The Autonomous Enterprise is his case for the shift now underway, from the digital commerce he helped build to the autonomous commerce he believes will reshape the enterprise just as profoundly.
