About Darien Reddy

Introduction: 

My name is Darien, and I'm originally from Johannesburg, South Africa. 

Two years ago, I made the move to Dubai to expand my network and immerse myself in the dynamic Middle Eastern culture.


Career Summary: 

With over 7 years of experience in tech and banking sales, I have developed a profound understanding of these industries. 

My journey has equipped me with deep market knowledge and insight into client needs, allowing me to provide strategic consultation on projects and deliver tailored solutions that drive success.


Why Recruitment? 

My career has always been fueled by a passion for building meaningful relationships and expanding my network. 

Transitioning from sales to project consulting has been a natural progression, as both fields require a keen understanding of client needs and a commitment to delivering impactful results. 

This shift has allowed me to apply my sales expertise to consulting, where I can truly make a difference in the success of various projects.


Industry Insights: 

I stay informed about market trends by regularly reading industry articles, attending events, and engaging with experts. 

This commitment to continuous learning ensures that I provide my clients and candidates with the most current and informed insights.


What is your approach to recruitment / executive search? 

In my role as a project consultant, I prioritize a consultative approach over traditional recruitment methods. 

I step into the shoes of my clients and candidates, thoroughly assessing their needs to deliver customized solutions that align with their goals.


Success Stories: 

Throughout my career in tech and banking, I consistently exceeded KPIs and targets, which paved the way for my move abroad and the lifestyle I've always envisioned. 

I now bring that same determination and focus to project consulting, helping both commercial and government organizations achieve their objectives and drive success.


Fun Facts: 

When I'm not consulting, you'll find me DJing in my spare time. It's a creative outlet that allows me to unwind while keeping up with the latest hits!


Why Aventus? 

Aventus empowers me to be an intrapreneur within the business. I'm provided with the tools and support to run my desk as my own business, grow within the market, and advance my career within the company.


Hard work beats talent every time.
