The Personnel Department in the SAP Board of Directors will in future be occupied by a woman: the former Unilever Manager Dr. Angelika Dammann will join the software group.
Dammann joins SAP from Unilever DACH, where she served as vice president, human resources, and labor relations director, and also was a member of the company’s Board. Prior to Unilever, Dammann spent 17 years with the Shell organization in different positions.
The 50-year-old studied law in Hamburg and London and earned a doctorate in International Law. After the Siemens Manager Barbara Kux, Dammann will be the second woman within the Central Boards of all 30 DAX companies.
Does this now mean that German companies are especially daring and fearless? Siemens and SAP have appointed women Directors; German Telekom is discussing a quota – where are all the other liberated and open minded global corporations in this picture?
Please let us have your opinion.

I think it means that German companies recognise 'quality' when they see it :-)
