International Women's Day - What our women say
Yesterday was International Women’s Day – and therefore a good occasion to consciously give our female colleagues some space.
In this article, women from our company share their personal experiences, thoughts and perspectives on their day-to-day work, their role and their path. The short interviews reveal how many different voices and strengths make up our company every day.
Sabrina Wetz – Sales
When was the last time you felt that your work was making a real difference?
That’s not so easy to answer. The biggest difference that I try to maintain is closer customer support – because we are expanding sales more and more at ANG, we also have more capacity to look after our customers more intensively.
What does it mean for you personally to work as a woman in the tech/SAP environment?
The tech/SAP environment is still very male-dominated, so I see it as an opportunity for women to become more visible in this area and to provide different perspectives.
What do you particularly like about working in a technical profession?
The mixture of procedural thinking, working with people and also seeing how new technologies can speed up processes and tasks.
What makes you proud to be a woman in tech?
to help drive innovation and bring in a different perspective.
Jamie Lüthi – Sales & Marketing
Which professional achievement are you particularly proud of – and why?
I am particularly proud of the customer event that we organized in Switzerland in summer 2025. The preparation was intensive and very instructive, but in the end it was a complete success. It was great to see how a great event developed step by step from an initial idea. I am looking forward to planning and successfully implementing another major customer event in 2027
What does it mean for you personally to work as a woman in the tech/SAP environment?
For me, it means working in a very dynamic environment where you are constantly learning and developing. At the same time, I think it’s great to see that more and more women are represented in the tech and SAP environment and bring different perspectives to the table. This often makes working together even more exciting.
Was there a role model who inspired you on your career path?
For a long time, I didn’t have a specific role model and tended to look for my career path step by step. Since my job at ANG Schweiz AG, however, I know exactly which direction I want to take – my goal is to make a full start in sales. My father works in the same field and is very successful in it. Since this year, he has also become a role model for me. His tips and experiences really help me to better assess different situations and learn from them how I can do things even better in the future. Maybe my interest in sales is a bit in my genes after all.
What would you like to pass on to other women?
I would like to encourage other women not to sell themselves short and to believe in their own abilities. We are often stronger than we think. It’s worth being courageous, taking a risk and leaving your comfort zone – because that’s where the greatest opportunities and developments often arise. My advice is to go your own way and not let yourself be influenced too much by the expectations of others. If you are passionate about something, you should have the courage to pursue it.
Cornelia Mauser – Finance & Corporate Services
How do you experience your role as a woman in projects and decision-making processes?
Gender does not play a role for me in projects and decision-making processes. What matters is competence, responsibility and cooperation. At the same time, I experience that women are sometimes questioned more or taken less seriously, especially when they are quiet and friendly. This makes it all the more important for me to make quieter voices visible.
What advice would you give women who are thinking about entering IT / consulting?
Work together, not against each other.
What would have helped you at the beginning of your career that you know today?
Theory and practice are sometimes two different things.
Elisabeth Kern – Consulting
How do you experience your role as a woman in projects and decision-making processes?
At a very young age – although highly trained and very eloquent – you were often not taken seriously and constantly had to prove your skills. This was sometimes annoying and put you at a disadvantage compared to your male colleagues, who were not confronted with this. If you don’t get tired of having to prove yourself, acceptance will eventually increase. Today, I find it easy to integrate myself into projects, analyze the groups of people I am supposed to work with and convince them of my assessments and recommendations.
When was the last time you felt that your work was making a real difference?
You always have the feeling that you are making a difference when you don’t run out of ideas and, above all, when you can present different solutions, including advantages and disadvantages. Honesty is always my top priority. If I have no experience of a topic, if I have never tried the proposed solution before or if I think an idea is absurd for certain reasons, I will say so. To date, this has been appreciated by every customer.
What would you like to pass on to other women?
Don’t be put off by the impressions or stories that others give you. Do your own thing. Try it out and find out what you don’t want. Do not remain what you are, but become what you can be.
Susanne Silz – Support
How do you experience your role as a woman in projects and decision-making processes?
I have found that professional expertise, clear communication and reliability are crucial to being heard in decision-making processes. If these factors are right, you are quickly perceived as a strategic contact – regardless of gender.
Why do you think the visibility of women in the IT and SAP environment is important?
Visibility plays an important role because it creates role models and broadens perspectives. When women are present in technical roles – be it in consulting, support or development – it shows young talents that these career paths are open and achievable.
What advice would you give women who are thinking about entering this industry?
My most important piece of advice would be: Dare to take the plunge – even if you don’t feel like you already know everything. In IT in particular, you only learn a large part of your skills in practice. The industry thrives on curiosity, a willingness to learn and analytical thinking. If you enjoy understanding problems and developing solutions, you already have a very good foundation.
Inez Jablonska – Finance & HR
What does it mean for you as a woman to work in the tech/SAP environment?
For me, it means being part of an industry that combines innovation and the future. As an assistant in financial accounting and back office, I support important processes in the background that ensure that collaboration runs smoothly. It shows that tech companies are not just made up of developers, but of many different roles in which women make an important contribution.
What makes a supportive environment for you?
In a supportive environment, mutual respect, openness and teamwork are a matter of course for me. When ideas are listened to, questions are welcome and people strengthen each other, an atmosphere is created in which you can develop and work with motivation.
Why is the visibility of women important in this environment?
Visibility shows that women have a place in all areas of the technology industry. It can encourage other women to follow the same path and helps to bring more diverse perspectives into companies. Diversity makes teams stronger, more creative and more successful.
Betül Yigit – Support
What makes you proud to be a woman in tech?
In the time that I have been in this profession, I have noticed that there are very few women working in this field. That’s why I want to inspire other women to seize this opportunity and develop their careers.
What are you particularly appreciated for in your team?
My team appreciates the fact that I am a very caring, empathetic and humorous person. I am particularly pleased that my positive charisma is noticeable in the office according to my colleagues. I’m also always open to new topics and ready to provide support whenever I’m asked for help.
What would you like to pass on to other women?
I would like to tell other women to take the path that really interests them and do what their heart tells them to do. You shouldn’t follow the majority, because as we know, a woman’s gut feeling is often the strongest compass – and usually the right one in the end.
We would like to thank all women in and outside our company for their daily commitment, their openness and their contribution – not just on International Women’s Day, but on every single day.
