QUANTRON embrace the Female Leadership in the mobility space together with the Aurelia Academy.

Quantron AG, specialist in sustainable passenger and freight transportation, is proud to announce that Elaine Lei Reichel-Teng, the Director of Strategic Supply & Cooperations, has successfully completed a transformative journey to enhance her leadership abilities by completing the newly established Aurelia Academy program. With her multicultural background and extensive experience in the automotive industry, Elaine qualified to participate in the very first cohort of female leaders to make a significant impact in the male-dominated sector and foster stronger networks among female professionals.

Elaine Lei Reichel-Teng brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her role at QUANTRON. Having grown up in both Chinese and Austrian cultures, she possesses a unique ability to connect people from diverse backgrounds. Recognizing that cultural mediation extends beyond language translation, Elaine has excelled in building bridges and fostering collaboration throughout her 18-year career in the automotive industry. Prior to joining QUANTRON, Elaine worked at Magna International, a renowned automotive technology company. During her tenure, she held various positions and spearheaded intercultural projects, gaining invaluable insights into the complexities of the automotive sector. Elaine’s most notable achievement was mastering the art of “simultaneous engineering” and successfully managing international complete vehicle development and manufacturing programs.

Elaine’s participation in the Aurelia Academy’s leadership program is a testament to her exceptional leadership qualities.

Elaine Lei Reichel-Teng, said:

I am so humbly honored to have had the chance to join the Aurelia Academy.

“I had the possibility not only to expand my leadership skills, but also to broaden my horizon and learn from my female peers from the automotive and mobility industry. I am sure that we will also benefit from the valuable network we have established to help and support each other in the future.”

While many of the program’s participants already hold high-level management positions, the academy aimed to empower and encourage them to be ready for the next career step. With 15 different nationalities, spread over two cohorts, a total of 28 female leaders participated in the first round of sessions of this great initiative.

The Aurelia Academy, co-founded by Dr. Angelika Berger-Sodian, is the first leadership academy dedicated to empowering female professionals in the mobility industry. Driven by a passion for developing successful organizations, Dr. Berger-Sodian has played a pivotal role in shaping global mobility. With extensive experience in designing and building businesses, scaling startups globally, and crafting international brand stories, Dr. Berger-Sodian brings a transformative approach to leadership development. As a global citizen with Austrian roots, Dr. Angelika Berger-Sodian’s deep understanding of the Chinese mobility ecosystem provides her with a unique perspective.

Dr. Angelika Berger-Sodian, said:

I want to help female leaders in the mobility space to not only advance in their specific careers but strengthen their entrepreneurial leadership and smart business building skills in mobility and beyond.

“I would like to help empower the future generation of leaders in both becoming the best version of themselves and to be instrumental in building great companies.”

On the 15th of May, the Aurelia Academy culminated the transformative journey by hosting the final event, marking the conclusion of the first leadership program. The participants gathered to celebrate not only their personal growth but also the collective achievement of embracing new skills and perspectives. With the handover of the certificates, the ceremony underscored the commitment to fostering female leaders equipped with the vision and resilience to navigate tomorrow’s complexities.

The Aurelia Academy’s commitment to fostering leadership excellence among female professionals aligns perfectly with QUANTRON’s vision for an open and diverse mobility sector.
