Saskia Vormfelde begins her term of office as Administrative Director at HZB on 1 September. The successful science manager succeeds Thomas Frederking, who retired after 32 years of service at HZB, including 13 years as Administrative Director.

Saskia Vormfelde holds a degree in business administration and was Administrative Director and member of the extended institute management at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in Freiburg. Prior to this, she was Managing Director of a software development company for several years.

“I am very happy to be here at HZB now,” says Saskia Vormfelde. “I was able to get to know the centre during the Helmholtz evaluation. I was very impressed with how HZB presented itself and am now looking forward to being a part of the team and helping to shape its future.”

Bernd Rech, Scientific Director of HZB since 2017, is looking forward to working with Saskia Vormfelde.  “HZB's mission is cutting-edge research,” says Bernd Rech. “We can only fulfil this if the entire centre is behind it at all levels. Thomas Frederking and I have lived this maxim in all the years of our joint management. Now I'm very much looking forward to continuing along this path together with Saskia Vormfelde.”

You can read a detailed portrait of Saskia Vormfelde in the next issue of Lichtblick, which will be published on 18 September.
