Career Highlight

2020 was a year of immense evolution for SAP iXp, driven by the new realities of COVID-19. The program, much like the world, moved to an entirely virtual format seemingly overnight. Christine and her team of devoted program leads worked tirelessly to support students and hiring managers alike; despite the physical isolation and global ambiguity everyone was navigating, SAP iXp provided uninterrupted programming and an inclusive sense of community (even hosting a virtual Intern Olympics across 32 countries!). Christine is incredibly proud to lead this team of intern development enthusiasts!
