BMC Community team 

At BMC, we believe the most meaningful change often starts with a story. Our Women in Tech series celebrates the voices of women who’ve followed their passion, faced challenges head-on, and continue to lead with empathy, strength, and vision. 

Through every conversation, we’re reminded of the power of honesty, courage, and the importance of lifting each other up. In our first edition, we bring you a story that is as bold as it is inspiring. Meytal Dimant has spent nearly two decades building her career in tech—and the path she walked wasn’t always fair or easy. But through grit, clarity, and an unshakable sense of self-worth, she carved out her place and rose to lead with strength and empathy. 

We sat down with Meytal to talk about what inspired her journey into technology, the pivotal moments that shaped her path, and the leadership practices that keep her grounded. 

1. What first sparked your interest in tech, and how did you take your initial steps into the field? 

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to computers and the world of technology. In high school, I studied computer science and absolutely loved it - it felt natural and exciting to me. That passion only grew stronger over time, so I went on to pursue a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics. I enjoyed every minute of it - it was clear to me that this was the field where I belonged. 

2. Can you share a challenge you’ve faced as a woman in tech—and how you navigated it? 

Being a woman in tech is not always easy. Over my 19 years of experience, I’ve faced several challenges - I’ll share two that have stayed with me. 

 When I started my career as a fresh graduate with a Bachelor's degree, I joined a company alongside four other new hires: three men and two women. On our very first day, I found out that the women’s base salary was 1,000 shekels lower than the men’s - despite having the same qualifications. Later in my career, after gaining more experience, I was up for a promotion. My manager had told me the opportunity was mine - and during that same conversation, I also shared that I was pregnant. I made it clear that I still wanted the role, and we agreed that it wouldn’t change the plan. But in the end, I didn’t get the promotion - someone had decided it would be too difficult for me to handle while pregnant. When I returned from maternity leave, I addressed the situation directly with my manager. It took time, but eventually, I was promoted to a leadership role under a different manager.  These experiences taught me to speak up, to advocate for myself, and - most importantly - to never give up. There is no peak or goal I can’t reach. 

3. What’s one go-to productivity trick or routine that helps you stay grounded during busy weeks? 

As a manager of a large group, I make it a priority to maintain regular 1:1s with my direct reports - but just as importantly, I block off one hour during office days with no meetings. I use that time to connect informally with both the broader team (including indirect reports) and my peers. These casual conversations often give me a clearer sense of what’s really happening across the team. They help build trust and strengthen relationships. It’s a simple routine that helps me stay connected and keeps the team engaged. 

4. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to women starting out in the tech world today? 

Believe in yourself - even when others don’t. There will be times when your voice isn’t the loudest in the room, or when people question your ability to handle a challenge. Don’t let that stop you. Speak up, take initiative, and don’t wait for permission to lead. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for what you deserve - whether it’s a raise, a role, or a seat at the table. Your perspective is valuable, and the tech world needs more women who lead with both strength and empathy. 

And finally - find someone who truly believes in you. Someone you can turn to when things get tough, who will tell you the truth, and help you clear your thoughts when you need it most. Having that kind of support can make all the difference. 

Meytal’s story shines a light on the experiences many women navigate in the tech industry and more importantly, it shows what’s possible when we lead with courage, clarity, and resilience. Her journey is a powerful addition to our Women in Tech series, reminding us that leadership is about authenticity, advocacy, and creating space for others to rise.  We are grateful to Meytal for sharing her journey so openly and for being a changemaker we can all look up to.

Earlier this month, we shared highlights from BMC’s FY25 Corporate Citizenship and ESG Impact Report, spotlighting our continued progress across sustainability, innovation, and community engagement. 

As a follow-up, we sat down with Wendy Rentschler (Global Corporate Citizenship, Belonging, ESG Impact & UN Liaison, BMC) to understand the story behind the report. 

In this Q&A, Wendy shares how BMC is helping customers lead with purpose, embed sustainability into their operations, and align with evolving global expectations around responsible innovation. 

1. Sustainability is more than just a popular theme today — how are you seeing this reflected in your conversations with BMC customers? 

We’d love to understand how sustainability expectations are shaping real-world discussions. 

Sustainability has shifted from a niche concern to a core business expectation. In conversations with BMC customers, we're seeing a marked increase in ESG-related due diligence, especially in procurement and vendor assessments. Customers want to know not only that we operate responsibly, but also how our solutions help them achieve their own sustainability goals — whether that’s optimizing energy use in their data centers, advancing digital accessibility, or streamlining operations to reduce waste. What’s more, customers are looking to partner with organizations that reflect their values and can elevate their own global visibility through shared commitments. Demonstrating responsible business practices isn't just good ethics — it's becoming a competitive differentiator. It’s not just about values anymore; it’s about value creation, risk management, and sustainable growth. 

2. The ESG report highlights how BMC solutions like Helix, Control-M, and AMI Ops are helping customers reduce emissions and operate more efficiently. Can you share how this is creating value in practice? Any examples or trends that stand out would be inspiring for our readers. 

Absolutely. Control-M, for example, enables customers to reduce batch processing windows and run workloads during off-peak hours — resulting in meaningful energy savings. AMI Ops gives IT teams the visibility to proactively detect inefficiencies and avoid wasteful over-provisioning. Helix Continuous Optimization is helping customers reduce cloud sprawl, which can have a significant carbon and cost footprint. What’s powerful is that efficiency and sustainability are not at odds — they go hand in hand, and our customers are experiencing real ROI because of that alignment. 

3. BMC’s Eco-Design principles were a standout. What does this look like in the way we build and evolve our products — and why is it meaningful from an impact perspective? 

Our Eco-Design approach involves embedding environmental and social considerations at every stage of the product lifecycle — from development to delivery. This includes minimizing compute resource consumption, building accessibility features, and ensuring interoperability to avoid unnecessary hardware dependencies. It’s meaningful because software has an invisible but significant environmental footprint. When we build with eco-efficiency in mind, we're helping our customers scale responsibly and reducing the collective impact of digital operations across industries. 

4. Responsible AI is another major theme, especially with BMC’s commitment to the EU AI Pact. How are these principles being brought to life across our solutions and teams? 

Our responsible AI approach is grounded in transparency, fairness, and human oversight. This starts with strong internal governance — including our cross-functional AI Review Council — and continues through implementation, where we prioritize bias mitigation, explainability, and ethical use cases. Our teams are also trained in responsible AI principles, and we apply risk assessments to AI features within our products. Signing the EU AI Pact was just one milestone — we’re committed to making responsible AI real, not just rhetorical. 

5. As you look ahead, what gives you the most optimism about how BMC can support customers in building a more sustainable, secure, and resilient future? 

What gives me the most optimism is that BMC doesn’t see sustainability as a bolt-on — it’s embedded in our innovation strategy, customer success, and operational excellence. Whether it's through smarter automation, more secure systems, or climate-conscious IT operations, we’re helping customers future-proof their businesses. And we’re doing it in collaboration with them — not just delivering technology but co-creating solutions that make a meaningful difference. That collective momentum is what makes the future so promising. 

We're proud to share this journey with our customers, partners, and community. If you haven’t yet, check out the full FY25 ESG Impact Report here and stay tuned for more stories spotlighting the people and products driving real progress.
