Californian Entrepreneur Takes on New Role as European Business Editor for Top Journalism Outlet

We are excited to announce the appointment of Gregory Schmidt as our new European business editor. Greg’s experience in the Business department in New York has demonstrated his versatility as an editor and writer who can handle a variety of tasks with grace, humor, and urgency. In his new role, Greg will collaborate with reporters across Europe to oversee coverage on European economies, clean energy transition efforts, and escalating tensions with trade partners.

Greg’s career began in 2007 when he joined the Business copy desk after working at The Miami Herald for seven years. His experience in writing about tech and video games, as well as his interest in real estate, has shaped his journey. He edited the Square Feet column since 2017, which sparked his interest in real estate coverage. In 2022, he worked as a beat reporter on the Real Estate desk, leading to a reporting fellowship at Columbia University.

Originally from Southern California, Greg attended the University of Tampa before pursuing graduate studies at the University of Florida. He started working in our London office last month and we congratulate him on his new role as European business editor. We look forward to his contributions to our team.
