This vir­tu­al event is brought to you as part of the ASUG Women Con­nect pro­gram. ASUG Women Con­nect exists to help women in SAP tech­nol­o­gy visu­al­ize and inspire success.

Suc­cess in any indus­try should nev­er be depen­dent upon gen­der, but unfor­tu­nate­ly, cer­tain fields are still extreme­ly male-dom­i­nat­ed. Dur­ing this pan­el dis­cus­sion, we are going to hear from two female lead­ers who cur­rent­ly work in enter­prise asset man­age­ment (EAM), a field that con­tin­ues to see high­ly-dis­pro­por­tion­ate representation.

Tune in to hear from Faye Coop­er, direc­tor of asset reli­a­bil­i­ty for Maple Leaf Foods, and Lin­da Diet­zel, direc­tor of IT, sup­ply chain and man­u­fac­tur­ing for The Her­shey Com­pa­ny, as they dis­cuss the chal­lenges they have had to over­come while work­ing in a male-dom­i­nat­ed indus­try, times they have had to forge ahead in order to try to break down bar­ri­ers for oth­ers, and tips for how women in any field can try to help bridge the gap.

This con­ver­sa­tion will take place live fol­low­ing our ASUG Best Prac­tices: SAP for EAM Vir­tu­al Con­fer­ence ear­li­er in the week and will be mod­er­at­ed by Kel­ly Dowl­ing, senior man­ag­er of enter­prise for ASUG.
