In each Visionary Club session, an expert selected in collaboration with BCG delivers a 5-10 minute inspirational talk live on LinkedIn. This segment focuses on cutting-edge topics and innovations in the mobility sector. Following the talk, there is a 15-20 minute interactive Q&A session, where moderator Sarah Harmann fields questions from the LinkedIn audience. Each session is published as a podcast afterwards.
IAA MOBILITY 2025, held from September 9-14 in Munich, is the leading international platform for showcasing innovative mobility solutions, from micromobility and cars to bicycles and new public transport. With a strong focus on sustainability and technology, IAA MOBILITY unites all stakeholders in the mobility ecosystem to drive progress and innovation.
In the fifth and final episode of our Visionary Club Special Series—recorded live at IAA MOBILITY 2025—we sit down with Stephanie May (Director at Women Automotive Network), Mandy Böbinger (Managing Director for Czech Republic & Slovakia at Renault Trucks), Sabine Scheunert (Managing Director for Central Europe at Dassault Systèmes), and Tania Khasal (Chief Cyber Security Governance Engineer at CARIAD) to discuss how the automotive industry must reinvent itself as an employer of the future.
Together, they explore the strategies needed to attract, develop, and retain talent during this era of profound transformation. The conversation centers not just on traditional skill sets, but on mindset, adaptability, and the willingness to challenge and rethink established knowledge. Our speakers share concrete insights into reskilling programs, new leadership approaches, and the vital role of corporate culture in an industry shifting from a classic manufacturing sector to a tech-driven ecosystem.
Furthermore, they discuss how companies can boost their appeal—especially to the next generation of talent seeking purpose, impact, and creative freedom. A special focus is placed on empowering female professionals, the importance of networking, and how diversity and collaboration can become true competitive advantages.

IAA MOBILITY Visionary Club Special Episode 4
In the fourth episode of our Visionary Club Special Series, recorded live during IAA MOBILITY 2025, Hannah Boomgarden (Open Innovation Manager at Plug and Play) moderates an engaging discussion on the future of urban mobility. Her guests are Anna Buchmann, CEO and Co-Founder of NOCA, and Frank Aldorf, Co-Founder and CIO of LEMO Future. Together, they explore strategic growth opportunities, investment potential, and emerging business models in the rapidly evolving world of micromobility and the bicycle industry.
During the conversation, the speakers discuss why bicycles and e-bikes are becoming increasingly important for sustainable cities and how the market is shifting from traditional product-based business models toward data-driven platform ecosystems. Anna Buchmann explains how transparent and structured product data across the entire supply chain can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and help companies future-proof their operations. Frank Aldorf, meanwhile, shares insights on brand strategy and innovation in the cycling market—and why successful mobility solutions require more than just a great product. They also depend on a broader ecosystem that includes services, community engagement, and digital platforms.
The discussion also touches on investment and partnerships within the micromobility sector. The guests examine how startups can collaborate with established companies, why strategic partnerships are essential for growth, and what role venture investors play in transforming the industry. A key focus is the question of how cities must be designed and organized in the future so that micromobility becomes the preferred mode of transport for short distances.
