Xunmeng Ying, 26, is the successor to Monika Stadler, who is moving to Internal Audit
“A good start is half the battle.” That’s a proverb from Xunmeng Ying’s homeland. The 26-year-old Chinese national got off to a good start at the Neu-Ulm District Office. He is the new economic affairs officer for the Neu-Ulm district and thus the successor to Monika Stadler, who is set to become the new head of the district audit office (Internal Audit). She is currently still serving as deputy to Walter Mang, who will retire on April 30, 2014.
Xunmeng Ying, who not only speaks German very well, was selected from among numerous applicants for the position in the “Economic and Tourism Development” department. “Mr. Ying is ideally qualified for his future role and meets all the requirements listed in the job posting,” explains District Administrator Geßner.
Ying, who hails from Huainan, a city of 2.3 million in central China, studied International Economics and Trade at Hefei University from 2005 to 2009. He completed the program with a bachelor’s degree. In 2009, he came to Germany and completed a master’s degree in Regional Management and Economic Development at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HAWK) in Göttingen, Lower Saxony. In 2012, he completed his second degree with his master’s thesis titled “Business Location Management—A Study Based on the Example of Chinese Investment Projects in Germany.” Ying gained practical experience at the German-Asian Institute for Business Location Management in Hanover.
So now he is working for the Neu-Ulm district. On his first day on the job, he took the oath of office, thereby taking the first step toward a successful collaboration.
