As an active member of dbPride, Darren has led subcommittees around engagement, events and recruitment and is now focusing on global collaboration of the network. Over the past three years he has led the Bank’s grass-roots IDAHOT initiatives where he motivated and facilitated 35+ global champions who created local engagement sensitive to their countries culture and LGBT+ attitudes. He has also transformed how dbPride connects: from quarterly global committee calls (2010) to daily online interactions. He is a mentor to those more junior in their career than him, a reverse mentor to senior leaders and he regularly blogs about LGBT+ personal experiences. Externally he has been interviewed and quoted on various platforms including, ‘Out in the World: Securing LGBT Rights in the Global Marketplace‘ research by Center for Talent Innovation, the MyKindaFuture student website and OUTstanding newsletters. Additionally, he was part of OUTstanding’s Future Leaders Programme working group where he then facilitated and observed sessions during the programme.
