Biographie

Andrew Sullivan served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Internet Society from 1 September 2018 until 31 August 2024.
 
Andrew has focused on Internet infrastructure and standards since 2001, when he worked to launch the .info Internet top-level domain. Because of that experience, he was part of the team that collaborated with the Internet Society to launch the Public Interest Registry, and take over the operation of the .org top-level domain. He was then a principal contributor to the Variant Issues Project (VIP) undertaken by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The VIP was an effort to bring together several different, previous efforts in support of internationalized domain names. In 2012, Andrew joined Dyn (later Oracle Dyn) to establish Dyn Labs and then to manage the DNS development and architecture departments. Throughout his career, he has worked to establish and maintain the Internet's critical value as an interoperable, neutral platform. 

Andrew's graduate work on the philosophy of economics led him to his interest in free/open source software and open Internet protocols and standards. He carried that interest and passion forward in his position at the Internet Society.
