Diversity is what makes the region special and it is also a key focus for SAP as part of its vision of creating a sustainable future.

One of the most diverse regions in the world, Southeast Asia, where the Philippines is located, is a melting pot of different cultures. “Sustainability includes social sustainability,” said Verena Siow, President and Managing Director for SAP South East Asia, during an exclusive interview with the Manila Bulletin. “Diversity inclusion should be across the board and it needs to be holistic.

Despite the positive changes that took place in the area of diversity inclusion, particularly the growing presence of women in the technology scene, Siow, a mother of two daughters, noted that women are still getting questions with a sense of bias. “I had interviewers in the past who blatantly asked ‘who takes care of your children when you are traveling?’ Those interviewers would never ask a man such a question.

“Out of the approximately 2,800 customers that we have in the Philippines, 1,500 are SMEs. We support them to become future-ready through digitalization. It is important for us to support SMEs because they could become the enterprises of the future 20 years down the road,” said Siow.
