Desiree is an active member or the Internet technical and Internet governance community. Her passion is using technology and the Internet to empower people and build bridges among diverse communities.

Desiree served as Special Adviser to the UN Under-Secretary and Chair of the Internet Governance Multi-stakeholder Advisory Group (2006-2009), and continues to volunteer her time and fundraise for many different local and global Internet communities, organisations and institutions to keep the Internet open and accessible. She co-founded ISOC Serbia Chapter in 2006, and open a hacklab space in Belgrade in 2013

Her decade-plus of close and productive interactions with regulators, intergovernmental leaders, academics, artists, and community activists throughout the world provide her with a unique set of resources with which to engage the often complex, cross-sectoral challenges of Internet technical coordination and governance.
