“Darren’s wealth of experience and industry knowledge make him a key addition to the Sustainable Brands leadership team,” states KoAnn Vikoren Skrzyniarz, founder and Chief Executive of Sustainable Brands. “In a world where trust in governments’ ability to solve our social and environmental challenges is low, the desire and expectation among consumers worldwide that business play a key role in helping lead the way to a flourishing future is becoming more pronounced.
