Sodi began his business activities in Grupo Cifra where he worked from 1962 to 1975.
In 1977, he entered the public service.
At the national level, he coordinated social support programs at Conasupo and was the managing director of Diconsa stores, where he increased the number of stores between 1978 and 1982 from 3,200 to 16,000.
