Detecon Alumni today: Mirko Knöfel

Mirko was a member of the NetWorks team at Detecon from 2007 to 2019. Today he has a completely different, but no less interesting job: he is the mayor of a small municipality. In the interview, you can learn more about his most exciting Detecon moments.

From when until when did you work at Detecon and in which function?

I started in 2007 as a Business Analyst and left Detecon in October 2019 as a Managing Consultant.

What were your most exciting or most beautiful Detecon moments?

Definitely the many wonderful assignments abroad, even if some of them were only for a few days. Sometimes I didn't even tell my family where the trip was going so that they wouldn't worry.

Negotiating offers with customers was always exciting. In some countries, that's considered a sport - for me, that's what it was in the end ?.

Which company do you work for today? What is your main area of responsibility there?

I have been the mayor of a municipality with 10,400 inhabitants and 43 districts since 2019.

What did you particularly appreciate at Detecon and what do you miss from the "old days"?

Looking back, I miss the trips a little. The insights into other cultures as a "non-tourist" have left their mark on me. In the 12 years, I also learned to appreciate my dear colleagues very much.
