"Women play an essential role in innovation, and Christine Regitz has spent her career mentoring and advocating for women in technology.

In 2007, she co-founded the Business Women’s Network (BWN) at SAP, a grassroots initiative with more than 10,000 members across 60 chapters. The network supports women in gaining new skills and pursuing successful career paths at SAP.

After studying business administration and physics, Christine joined SAP in 1994 as a retail management consultant. Over 26 years later, her passion for innovative technology has only grown, and “exceptional and exciting colleagues” continue to motivate her throughout her journey at the company.

Regitz is a member of the Supervisory Board of SAP SE, a certified business coach and mediator, President of the German Informatics Society, a member of the High-Level Advisory Committee of the European Centre for Women and Technology (ECWT), and a member of the advisory board of CyberMentor.

In recognition of her new role as head of Women in Tech at SAP, I spoke with Regitz recently to get her thoughts on the power of women in tech as well as why it is so important to provide education and opportunities for other young women who are interested in a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)."
