Dr. Angelika Sodian is an esteemed colleague of mine and was supposed to be in Turkey to be a guest speaker at FARKLABS, if the coronavirus had not forced us to cancel this trip. I listened to one of her lectures in Germany and immediately thought that these are the kinds of learning experiences we need. I was already quite obsessed with learning from China, but reading Angelika’s book made me realise that companies need to systematise their learning.
Dr. Sodian published her new book “In the Year of the Tiger – Why it is not too late to learn from China” during the Chinese New Year (late January), when the coronavirus was only just appearing on our horizon….
Sie hat beide Welten von innen kennen gelernt. Die Villacherin Angelika Sodian hat in den vergangenen 15 Jahren nicht nur westliche Firmen, wie etwa Magna-Steyr, dabei unterstützt, in China Fuß zu fassen. Sie war auch die erste Österreicherin im Top-Management eines global agierenden chinesischen Elektro-Auto Start-ups. Für Nio hat sie die Design-Abteilung in München von Grund weg aufgebaut und zuletzt die Niederlassung in Großbritannien geleitet…
Dr. Angelika Sodian, 4 Jahre in führender Funktion beim chinesischen E-Mobilitätsanbieter Nio, der inzwischen seine Europastartpläne verschoben hat, hat es sich zur Mission gemacht, ihre eigenen Erfahrungen als Spitzenmanagerin für chinesische und europäische Unternehmen – darunter Magna – weiterzugeben.
Bei ihrer Buchpräsentation „Im Jahr des Tigers“ gewährte sie Einblick in 2 völlig unterschiedliche Wirtschaftskulturen, um ihr daraus resultierendes Verständnis europäische Lösungen zu entwickeln…
Twenty-one young and talented automotive executives have been named as Rising Stars in the automotive industry by Automotive News Europe. The ninth annual Rising Stars awards recognize fast-climbing leaders who are already taking big steps forward in the industry. From automakers to suppliers, manufacturing to connected cars, engineering to sales, each Rising Star has spearheaded change and made progress up the career ladder.
A number of this year’s winners stood out because they are at the forefront of the automotive industry’s rapid response to megatrends that include the shift toward new solutions for mobility, new ways to fuel cars – with electricity instead of fossil fuels – and new ways to travel in cars that will mean never touching a steering wheel.
Angelika Sodian, who is managing director of Chinese startup brand Nio in the UK, added that, “It’s not about the auto industry anymore. It’s about new solutions for mobility that will improve people’s lives.”
A number of high-profile female car industry leaders took the stage in Stuttgart, Germany at the Women Automotive Summit with one clear message for women looking to succeed in the car world: help each other out.
The auto-industry bosses said that collaborating rather than competing with each other was the way for women to get ahead in the male-dominated motor industry.
WAC Istanbul 2019 taught me how new technologies are disrupting the automotive industry. From blockchain to IoT, the automotive industry is transforming rapidly.
Dr. Angelika Sodian, Former MD NIO UK, China Expert and Author, believes that customer demand can transform the industry much faster. Taner Göçmen thinks government legislation that encourages EV production, R&D, and trade can trigger innovation in a short period.
Dr Angelika Sodian, Managing Director, NIO UK, said: “NIO is delighted to support the Oxford EV Show, taking place in a city that shares our vision for the accelerated development of electric vehicles. Our Engineering facility, based here in Oxford, plays a key role in the development of the cars on display, and it is fitting that the first NIO ES8 high-performance SUV in the UK makes its public appearance here.”

Alla guida di Tesla è da poco arrivata Robyn Denholm. In GM c’è la «pioniera» Mary Barra. E in Italia c’è una nuova generazione di ingegnere che spinge
Corriere della Sera, Sara Gandolfi, 19.11.2018
Automotive, roba da uomini. Forse. Suscita ancora un po’ di clamore se una signora prende i comandi. L’ultima, in ordine di tempo, è Robyn Denholm, chiamata a sostituire un Elon Musk in crisi d’identità alla presidenza di Tesla. Il passaggio di consegne era atteso, dopo le accuse di frode, non l’arrivo di una manager bionda.
Eigentlich waren zwei Dinge klar für Angelika Sodian. Sie wollte nicht wieder in einer Firma angestellt werden, sondern mit ihrem Beratungsunternehmen selbstständig bleiben. Und sie wollte nicht aus Schanghai, wo die promovierte Betriebswirtin fünf Jahre lang deutschsprachige Zulieferer der Autoindustrie beim Aufbau ihrer Filialen in China beraten hatte, zurück nach Europa.
