Today for our 'Women Making SAP Happen' series, we meet Divya, SAP Human Capital Management On Premise expert, from Melbourne, about what is it like being a woman in SAP and what her career journey has been like...
What has been your journey to current
position?
It’s been a long and varied journey. This is my 25th year in SAP. I was actually employed as a graduate back in 1994, by Queensland Treasury to actually learn SAP and started with R2. After that I moved to ICS which was then bought out by Deloittes. In the early days of SAP, we did everything absolutely everything on a project, it gave me a great background on what it takes to complete a project end to end.
I left Deloittes in 1998 and started my own consulting firm with a colleague and contracted in SAP for the next 18 years. So, I have also run a small business. During that time, I’ve had many different roles, everything from Project Management to Solution Architect.
I’ve worked in many different industries, generally moving into new role every 6-12 months. I’ve completed greenfield implementations, upgrades, remediation work, QA’s, I’ve even trained new users (on behalf of SAP) everything from R2 – S/4 HANA. My primary background is FICO, but I have dabbled in many other modules over the years including PSCD/FICA and PPM. I’m also a senior Business ByDesign consultant (which I did for 3 years). I’ve now come full cycle and I’m back as a full-time employee in my current role this time FICO S4 HANA.
