Meet Louis Vanboxel-Woolf
“Team Darren gave me the break I needed to step up from PR into full-time journalism. I’d already been writing editorial, but working with Darren exposed me to the pace and demands of live reporting. He put me in the room with senior leaders at global events, gave me the chance to interview them on camera, and helped me sharpen my journalistic instincts. Darren’s mentorship and his personal recommendation were career-defining for me. I wouldn’t be at Reuters today without that experience.”
