Life goals: Sky Deutschland’s Stefanie Mirlach on transforming from a professional footballer to head of project management for sport

Football is much more than a hobby for Stefanie Mirlach, Sky Deutschland’s head of project management for sport. She is a former midfielder, playing for Bayern Munich and Turbine Potsdam in the Bundesliga, before retiring from the professional game in 2015. As a footballer she knew what success was about; as an Under-19 International she won the 2010 U-20 World Cup as part of the German team. Today, her success is all about covering strategic topics for the sports departments, managing very diverse projects and being responsible for the overall women’s sport strategy.
