Deepa Gautam-Nigge

Senior Director – Corporate Development and Diversity Advocate, SAP

She acts as a “mediator between the different worlds of innovation” to ensure that next-generation talents work together with established companies and the right start-ups on the solutions of tomorrow. As an expert for platform business models she is also active as an advisor for start-ups, but also for companies such as Earlybird VC and Schmitz Cargobull AG – and thus as recently written in the Handelsblatt (a German Business Daily) , a role model for the new generation of innovation managers.

She is also widely known as a supporter of diversity by all means, since she is convinced that innovation only happen when you compile various perspectives from ecosystem intelligence.
