Burda publishing company experiences departure of Funke
Daniel Funke Bids Farewell to Burda-Verlag after Decade-Long Tenure
After a decade of reporting for the people magazine from Berlin, Daniel Funke is leaving Burda-Verlag. The 42-year-old journalist, who has been the head of the capital bureau since 2019, will depart on February 1, 2023.
Funke began his journey with Burda-Verlag in 2019, joining the company after a ten-year stint at Bunte. During his time there, he served as the office manager for the people magazine from Berlin. His tenure at Burda-Verlag includes involvement in the organization of significant events such as BAMBI and the charity event Tribute to Bambi.
Before joining Burda-Verlag, Funke spent ten years at Bunte, starting in 2009. His departure from Burda-Verlag marks the end of his role as the head of the capital bureau, a position he held for four years.
Funke's departure signifies a significant change in the leadership of the capital bureau. However, he has no immediate plans for his next venture. Instead, he aims to become the editor-in-chief of the Berliner Zeitung after his departure from Burda-Verlag.
Funke's involvement in the organization of BAMBI and the charity event Tribute to Bambi is noteworthy. These events, which he helped organise during his time at Burda-Verlag, are significant charity events in Germany.
Funke's departure from Burda-Verlag is of his own accord. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunities he had during his time at the company and wished the team all the best for the future.
As Funke prepares to embark on a new chapter, the team at Burda-Verlag looks forward to continuing the legacy he helped build. His contributions to the company, particularly in the organisation of events like BAMBI and Tribute to Bambi, will long be remembered.
In the meantime, the search for a new head of the capital bureau at Burda-Verlag is underway. The company is confident that they will find a worthy successor to carry on the work started by Daniel Funke.
