Bettina Van Bruggen-Oberle

Bettina van Bruggen‑Oberle is a Data Engineering Team Lead and experienced IT Manager at Continental. With professional stations in London, the Netherlands, and Germany, she thrives in multicultural environments and brings strong intercultural skills to her work, connecting diverse teams and perspectives. A key strength of her leadership is making the value of IT understandable and visible to non‑technical stakeholders, fostering meaningful collaboration and smarter decision‑making across an organization. She actively encourages women to pursue careers in IT, convinced that gender‑mixed teams outperform homogenous ones, and believes society should better support the combination of demanding careers and raising a family. As a mother of three young children, Bettina aims to be a visible role model, showing that leadership and family life can successfully coexist.
