Tell us a little bit about yourself and your passion for driving action to achieve the UN SDGs?
My name is Ann Rosenberg. I'm Danish, but currently based in New York City. I work for SAP, where I've been for over 20 years. At SAP, I lead a global team, where I work with purpose and manage the relationship between SAP and the United Nations. I launched SDG Ambition this year with UN Global Compact and Accenture, which challenges businesses to fully integrate sustainability into strategy and governance, operations and stakeholder engagement. I have also been featured as a TEDx speaker where I encourage a science fiction thinking mindset to reframe our perspective of the world, question our deepest held assumptions and change the world through unimagined technologies and innovation.

What are you working on right now to support relief for COVID-19?
I am working on a big initiative right now - the launch of SAP purpose network live. This is a virtual event platform that will bring together the global SAP purpose network to unlock the power of co-innovation at scale with companies, startups, purpose-driven partners, government agencies, non-profits, consumers and influencers so we can come together to discover new solutions to pressing global issues like COVID-19.
The events will feature sharing of thought leadership, bold new approaches, and inspiring stories on how companies, the startup ecosystem, governments, NGOs, institutions including the UN, academia, and purpose focused citizens are activating products, programs, partnerships and global communities to scale impact for the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and accelerate solutions to urgent world challenges like the pandemic we face currently. If you would like to submit a virtual event request for SAP purpose network live, visit this site.
People are speaking a lot about working from home and new routines, how are you adapting to this? What's important when working from home?
During my career, I've worked both from home and from an office, so I'm familiar with remote work. Currently, I am in Copenhagen where I am working from home with my husband. We are both in quarantine for two weeks.
As I adapt to this new work setting with COVID-19 and virtual work, I have several suggestions for how to navigate this uncertain time. I have several recommendations that I have given to my global team, as well as others working remotely. These include putting the camera on during meetings. This allows you to feel more connected to people, especially during a time of social distancing.
Check in with your team, your co-workers, your managers. I meet several times a day with my team to check in and speak about how we are feeling, as well as what we are working towards together, which is currently SAP purpose network live and Expo 2020. Additionally, set aside time for your social life online. Yesterday I took part in a birthday party to celebrate my dear friend Shelley Zalis, CEO of the Female Quotient. Working from home during COVID-19 brings with it certain challenges for many people, but taking small steps, like the ones I suggested, as well as creating a new structure and routine help significantly.

Harvard Business School College Programs Overview
The
Summer Venture in Management Program
is a free one-week residential education program for rising college seniors designed to increase diversity and opportunity in business education.
Using the renowned case method of instruction, HBS faculty lead class discussions on current management issues. You will spend evenings analyzing real-business cases, and use morning study groups and classes to examine and debate their ideas through lively interaction with peers and faculty. The academic program is supplemented by presentations from HBS administrators and alumni who provide information about the impact of an MBA, as well as with social events and meals. You will have the opportunity to live in the dorms to experience the full life of an MBA student. The SVMP program is designed for students from backgrounds historically under-represented in business (e.g., African American, Latino, Native American, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender, the first family member to attend college, from a school whose graduates are sometimes underrepresented such as a community college as part of a four-year degree or a predominantly minority college).

journals. The equitable inclusion of women editors at every level is long overdue. Addressing journal gender bias starts at the top.
The goal: To raise awareness about gender bias in publishing and share with stakeholders, including journal editors and owners, the overall number of scientists, healthcare professionals and others who have taken the pledge. The pledge can be taken anonymously. Educators and others are encouraged to take the pledge and share information about this issue with colleagues and trainees.
GET INVOLVED
Here are 3 quick and easy things you can do to join the #NeedHerScience Campaign: 1. Disseminate the infographic Tips for Publishing in Medical Journals.

TAKE THE PLEDGE
PLEDGE: "As part of determining where to submit my manuscripts, I will look at the list of editors and consider whether a journal has equitably included qualified women at every level."
