Darren Wray, CEO of Fifth Step
The road to becoming a CEO – with all the responsibilities and duties that entails – has been part of a journey that comes as a direct result of Darren’s strong background as a senior IT Leadership with experience of multinational business in a number of industry sectors including financial services and media. In a career spanning more than 25 years, Darren has experience of some of the biggest Financial Services and Technology brands including IBM, ACE (now Chubb), Abbey (now Santander) and Norwich Union (now Aviva) among others.
Darren has a long history with helping organisations develop and implement their business resiliency plans and processes to help protect them against the scenarios and risks.
His strategic acumen, practical management knowledge and huge passion and enthusiasm for all things technology related has placed him on first name terms with members of the c-suite and senior leadership teams in the UK, US, Bermuda and further afield. Particular areas of expertise and experience include Business Resiliency, Complex Change Management, Business and Technology Strategic Planning, Implementing Global Data Protection requirements, and the Implementation of Enterprise and Internet-based solutions.
Darren is hugely committed to helping organisations achieve their Business IT and Resiliency goals but knows from personal experience that an iterative approach to complex change is a far more successful way of implementing change, this is particularly important when dealing with complex and large-scale changes.
