Darren Challis had an unusual career path that led him to his current role setting up the Australian subsidiary of the global executive search firm DHR International. After practicing law briefly, Challis earned an MBA and worked as a management consultant and in commercial strategy roles. He realized he enjoyed being a "trusted advisor" and spent three years as an executive search consultant before being recruited to launch DHR International in Australia. Challis now leads a team of four consultants and aims to grow the business to 10 consultants by 2015, finding it very satisfying to help chairmen, CEOs, and senior executives with their careers and businesses.
