Meet the team... Mirko Christoph
Head of Security, EMEA, US, and Head of Compliance, Germany


Location
Recklinghausen

What's the day-to-day of your role like?

Juggling office duties and frequent travel, my role as Head of Security and Compliance demands flexibility and alertness. Beyond meetings and emails, I focus on keeping our organization safe from threats and ensuring we follow the rules. Whether it's refining security plans or checking for compliance, I'm always on top of it. My job is to stay adaptable and dedicated to keeping our organization secure, no matter where I am.

Why did you join TES? 

I joined TES because I believe in the power of innovation to drive sustainability forward. TES's commitment to creating a greener, more sustainable future resonates with me deeply. Moreover, the warmth and unity I experienced from the people and staff convinced me that TES is more than just a workplace—it's a family.

Tell us an interesting fact about you.

My travels and watching the world go by. A short excerpt:
 
You fly for hours over the endless sea until they suddenly appear. The tiny islands, strung together like little drops on a string of pearls, with the green jungle in the middle, the white sandy beaches, and, above all, the turquoise lagoons that make an incredible first impression when you arrive in the Maldives. They are the welcoming committee before you land in the capital Malé - and they make your heartbeat faster. I will never forget the elation I felt when I first arrived in paradise on my resort island, in this completely foreign island world. You could also say: island vacation in the water world. When you arrive in the Maldives, even the journey there is an experience: you board a seaplane or speedboat and fly low over the turquoise lagoons to get to your island. The pilots even wear flip-flops and give you a unique view of the breathtaking landscape of the Maldives. After a 15-hour journey, you finally arrive at your destination and stand on the terrace of your own villa, which offers a fantastic view of the sea. The sight of the colors, the brightness, and the sound of the sea will make you forget your everyday life and you will feel like you are in paradise.
