Our network has a powerful story to tell. It all started back in 2007 when a group of extraordinary women leaders at SAP Germany recognized the need to elevate the role of women in technology and within our organization. These pioneers were trailblazers for women’s empowerment, at a time when gender diversity wasn’t on the corporate radar. Once officially established, the network progressed steadily over the years, and it enjoyed a very successful journey of growth and impact, along with strong support from the SAPBoard. Fast forward to 2022: SAP BWN celebrated 15 years of empowering and inspiring our members to drive women’s career development and fostering gender equity at SAP. We have come a long way since our early days, and we are more committed than ever to running a better world for women in the technology industry.
