Significant experience

Nayyar joins Ivanti from BMC, where she was the president of the Digital Service and Operations Management Business Unit.

While at BMC, she was instrumental in the transformation of the company’s ITSM and ITOM product lines, launching BMC Helix, a cloud-agnostic containerised platform powered by cognitive technologies.

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.

Currently, Nayyar serves on the Boards of Corteva Agriscience and Veritone Inc., one of the leading providers of AI/ML solutions.

She commented: “As remote becomes the next normal and with explosive growth of devices and endpoints, companies must automate operations from cloud to edge to ensure secure delivery of services, applications and data to an increasingly distributed workforce.

“Ivanti is in a unique position to deliver on this promise with powerful and proven endpoint and cybersecurity solutions. It’s an honor to join the Ivanti leadership team as we work together to chart the course to make the world more secure, IT more efficient and users more productive.”
