In Episode 4 of the Women in ERP x SAP Business Women’s Network International Women’s Day series: Give to Gain, Abigail Allman and Meena Confait explore a challenge many professionals experience in enterprise technology and SAP environments — the credibility gap.
Why are some people assumed to be experts the moment they walk into the room, while others feel they must repeatedly prove their technical knowledge and leadership capability?
This episode examines credibility, bias, confidence and voice in technical and ERP careers, and how these dynamics influence who is heard, trusted and promoted in complex global organisations.
Our panel of senior SAP leaders share honest experiences of navigating credibility in technical discussions, building authority in male-dominated environments, and finding the confidence to contribute when the room doesn’t automatically expect you to speak.
Featuring:
• Marleen Verhag – VP, Head of Industry – Services Industries EMEA, SAP
• Alina Iager – Global Director, Strategic Programs for Cloud ERP, SAP
• Celina Cazali – Chief Partner Officer UK & Ireland, SAP
• Antoaneta Radoslavova – Regional Lead Israel, Turkey & Greece, SAP Concur
• Pilar Navarro – Business Development, SAP EMEA Demand Management Office
Together they discuss:
• The credibility gap in technical and enterprise environments
• How bias and assumptions shape leadership opportunities
• Finding your voice in senior technology discussions
• What leaders can do to create more inclusive and confident workplaces
This episode is part of the Women in ERP International Women’s Day series – Give to Gain, exploring how community, leadership and opportunity shape careers across the SAP ecosystem and the wider ERP industry.
