Desanka J. Perovic

Managing Director
ABBYY

An accomplished legal and operations executive with 15+ years of experience, I specialise in entity governance, global compliance and cross-functional programme leadership. I have a proven track record of delivering strategic operational outcomes, navigating complex multi-jurisdictional environments and ensuring adherence to regulatory and corporate governance standards across EMEA.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led programs of significant scale and complexity including the relocation, end-to-end transformation and enterprise-wide policy development and rollout. I have managed large-scale workforce restructuring and resolved high value vendor disputes without litigation – consistently protecting the organisation while preserving critical relationships.

In my current role at ABBYY, serving as legal representative, I manage a broad scope of responsibilities. I act as bridge between local operations and global executive leadership. I actively monitor regulatory developments to ensure the company remains compliant and aligned with best practices.

One of my greatest strengths is effective cross-functional collaboration. I build trust across functions, cultures, and seniority levels with deep understanding how organisations work – what creates risk, what creates value, and how to navigate both. Passionate about driving digital transformation and aligning strategy with business goals for global impact.

What sets me apart is the breadth of my profile: lawyer, operations leader, programme manager and people partner  – combined in one profile that understands how organisations function.
