Denise R. S. Almeida
Denise is an information governance and compliance professional, currently working on the future of decentralised communications at Element, the company building the eponym open source, secure and interoperable collaboration tool built on Matrix. Element delivers Matrix solutions to millions of users, including the French Government, the German Armed Forces, and private companies like Mozilla or Red Hat.
In addition to her work at Element, Denise is the appointed Data Protection Officer for the Matrix.org Foundation. The Foundation is the custodian for the Matrix open standard, a unique initiative aiming to democratise secure online communication and solve the problem of fragmentation in current Chat, VoIP, VR and IoT technologies. Matrix makes open real-time-communication as universal and interoperable as email, and brings the power back to the user on choosing who they trust with their data and how they want to communicate.
Denise has also recently defended her PhD thesis at UCL, on the topic of technology worker's attitudes and behaviours towards privacy and change. Her main research interests are centred on privacy, change, interoperability, digital rights and open source govenrnace, particularly around how these areas interact with different social, demographic and contextual factors.
