He led the Deccan Chargers to an IPL title in 2009, guided the Queensland Bulls to Sheffield Shield and Ryobi Cup victories, and took the Brisbane Heat to Big Bash League glory. As head coach of the Australian national team, he helped the side achieve World Cup success and reach the number one ranking in both Test and ODI cricket.

Darren’s expertise, leadership, and passion for the game make him a sought-after speaker and mentor, sharing lessons from elite sport on teamwork, resilience, performance under pressure, and achieving success on and off the field.

Darren was exactly what we expected and more. His ability to work the room and make everyone feel important – a skill very few possess, was top shelf. He recounted some great cricket anecdotes and stories but made relevant to our key management. Sport and business have many parallels and Darren was able to move between the two effortlessly. We look forward to seeing him again. Royal Bank of Scotland Equities (Australia) Ltd
