Desiree Hoving

"Desiree straalt een onbevangenheid uit op het podium die drempelverlagend werkt. De sfeer in de zaal is daardoor meteen goed. Desiree interacteert speels en natuurlijk met het publiek en kan vervolgens een messcherpe analyse geven of vraag stellen. In de samenwerking is Desiree constructief en creatief. Ook tijdens het event is Desiree flexibel en speelt ze met gemak in op wat er zich voor doet."

"Desiree has been moderating for Mercator Ocean International an international online workshop on ocean forecasting, organized for the United Nations UNESCO/IOC. This was a first in the history of ocean forecasting, a great moment with enthusiastic participants from all over the world, but also a real performance to manage with 6 intense sessions over 3 days. Desiree is very professional : attentive to our needs as organizer and responsive to participants' expectations. She is indeed an excellent moderator, she is naturally gifted to create the best conditions for group discussions, but she is also very dedicated and serious in her preparation. I recommend her very warmly."

"I had the pleasure to work with Desiree for the NERA Transition Top, where she was the chair of the day. Desiree already took a very active role in the preparations, challenging us to formulate more clearly what we wanted to achieve with the discussions that day. On the day itself she guided the discussions, giving room for everyone to speak out while at the same time summarizing and compacting the discussion to work efficiently to a concrete outcome. She has a very pleasant way of acting, bringing structure, but also cheer in the discussion. She definitely exceeded the expectations I had for her role – also by her knowledgeability on the subject – and I would be very happy to work with her again."
