Renate Smidt

Management Assistant

Supporting the Director and enabling them to focus on the institute's strategic goals is what I enjoy most. As an Executive Assistant at NIOZ, I work in a dynamic, international research environment. I am responsible for coordinating complex schedules, organizing and preparing meetings and events, preparing board documents, and monitoring processes and agreements. I ensure that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, allowing the Director to focus on what truly matters.
By creating structure, thinking ahead, and keeping things running efficiently, I help others perform at their best.
Secretary: Someone who solves problems you never knew existed in ways that will blow your mind.
