Bio
Doyel Maitra
I worked with Darren for three years, during which he progressed from Marketing Director to Chief Customer Officer at MoneySuperMarket. Darren believes that commitment is as important as capability and he holds himself to the same high standards of engagement and performance that he expects from his team. He's also a very empathetic manager who encourages his team to keep learning, empowers them to make change and ensures they feel appreciated. It was a privilege to work with Darren - the impact he had on both his leadership team and the wider Marketing function at MoneySuperMarket was transformative.

Darren is an excellent leader and an expert in his field. It has been a privilege to work closely with him over the last few years. As others have eluded to, Darren’s strengths are the clarity he provides to his teams, his insistence on collaboration and the ability to articulate complex scenarios to anyone in the organisation, at any level. Darren has very clear values and stays true to them in everything he does. He drives extremely high performance levels by setting the standard himself. He challenges his teams to constantly ask more of themselves yet recognises the need for reflection and a positive environment. Darren provides very clear strategic direction and sound advice without hesitation – I know he’s always on the end of the line should I need it. He is passionate about building your career and developing you as a person. He has set an example to me in how I manage my teams and the lengths I go to as I try to set them up for success. Darren’s legacy at MoneySuperMarket is nothing short of phenomenal. He has turned the culture of the team around at all levels, provided strategic clarity and a new brand platform that we’re all proud of. He will be a tough act to follow and I fully expect him to continue to be a huge success in his career. I look forward to staying in his network and working with him again at some point in the future.
