Darren Brown, Director

Darren is an intelligence, crisis and dispute resolution specialist, advising corporates globally, governments and NGOs.

Darren began his career working for the British Government, including the Foreign Office, Home Office and Ministry of Defence. He led on time sensitive and high-profile international counter-terrorist investigations, coordinating partners from across intelligence, law enforcement and the legal profession. Darren also directed a central strand of the UK Government’s Counter Terrorism response, providing bespoke counsel to senior ministers, advice on crisis preparation, and response to major geopolitical issues.

Prior to joining Highgate, Darren was chosen by the largest international communications network in the world to direct and establish an NGO and influencer-led network. This resulted in the creation of the biggest sustainable grassroots-led partnership ever to work with the British government, to creatively counter extreme ideology and social harms.
