After three years as managing director of the Swedish SAP subsidiary, Snabe was appointed managing director of the SAP Nordic region. Shortly thereafter, he held several management positions for the SAP EMEA region. From July 2008 on, Snabe was part of the executive board of SAP. After the departure of Léo Apotheker, Snabe and his colleague McDermott took on the position as Co-CEO for SAP AG on February 8, 2010.

On July 21, 2013, it was announced that Snabe would leave the position of Co-CEO in 2014 to be part of the SAP Supervisory Board. On the SAP Annual General Assembly on May 21, 2014, he was elected to the Supervisory Board.[5]

In 2017, Snabe wrote the book "Dreams and Details: Reinvent Your Business and Your Leadership from a Position of Strength” together with Mikael Trolle.[8] [9] [10] Drawing from their leadership experience, Snabe and Trolle set out to offer a new leadership model, which unites inspiration, ambition, innovation and employee empowerment to succeed in the modern world.[11] The model builds on Snabe's conviction that businesses have to reinvent themselves to combine profits with responsible and sustainable conduct.[12] In November 2018, Snabe and Trolle founded the Dreams and Details Academy, aiming to change leadership through consulting and educational services.
