Prior to joining BMC, Nayyar spent over five years at SAP, where she was general manager and global head of SAP’s Internet of Things division. She assumed that role after holding strategy and senior management positions with SAP’s Cloud, CRM and Mobile business units, managing large teams globally.
Before her work with enterprise software vendors, Nayyar held technology leadership roles at Valero and Shell where she gained tremendous industry experience.
