Steffen Seibert is a German former journalist and television anchor, and the current head of the German governmental press- and information-agency, which resembles the British Central Office of Information, making him the de facto press secretary of the Chancellor's office. He is officially ranked as an undersecretary of state.
Since late 2016, Seibert has been a member of the German government's cabinet committee on Brexit at which ministers discuss organizational and structural issues related to the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union.
Previously he worked for the German television station ZDF as a journalist and presenter of the popular Heute Journal (until 2010).
Steffen Seibert was born in Munich in 1960, and went to school at the Tellkampfschule in Hannover. He then studied history in Hamburg and at the London School of Economics.
Seibert is married (his wife is an artist), and has a daughter and two sons. They lived in Wiesbaden before moving to Berlin’s Dahlem district in 2011.
Steffen Seibert worked for ZDF from 1989 to 2010.
In addition, Seibert is an ambassador of UNICEF in Germany.
