Darren believes passionately that TELUS’ greatest asset is its team members. Together, they embrace Darren’s long-standing belief that diversity creates a whole that is far more potent than the sum of its parts. This is why TELUS established six team member resource groups that promote and celebrate diversity and inclusiveness, globally, including Connections, which encourages gender equity with the goal of making TELUS the employer of choice for women. Darren’s commitment to advancing diversity extends to TELUS’ Board of Directors, where 46% of directors are female and 23% represent a visible minority or are Indigenous. Under Darren’s guidance, TELUS has become a DEI champion and corporate culture leader, earning recognition as a Best Diversity Employer for 13 years by Mediacorp and receiving the global Leadership in Action Award from Diversity Journal. Moreover, TELUS consistently ranks #1, worldwide, for employee engagement by Kincentric and a World’s Best Employer by Forbes. Darren led TELUS to become a founding member of the 30% Club Canada and a signatory of the Catalyst Accord.
