STRATEGIC ADVISORY | RISK MANAGEMENT | INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS​

 

Problem-Solving for Equitable Outcomes

Real solutions don’t stem from guesswork;

they are the product of fully understanding each issue.

​​

At DMB, we leverage HUMINT-based insights by drilling down to the root causes, identifying key symptoms, and gathering perspectives which enable us to identify and resolve the structural drivers behind operational, financial, and reputational vulnerabilities. 

We operate at the crossroads of strategy, intelligence, and culture—providing discreet, high-trust advisory that empowers leaders, organizations, and creators to navigate complexity with clarity and resilience.  

 

We believe the best way to earn trust is by practicing it ourselves—we operate with discretion, transparency, and a sense of fair dealing. Our decades of specialized experience helped us build a powerful network of industry professionals, cutting-edge technologies, and strategic partnerships.

 

This enables us to tailor solutions to each organization’s unique cultural and commercial environment. By emphasizing mutual respect, straightforward communication, and sensitivity to local nuances, we align our work with what truly matters to leadership and stakeholders alike.

Darrell’s contributions to public discourse include being a frequent on-air contributor to ABC News coverage of world events, and serving as a nonresident fellow at the University of Georgia’s Center for International Trade and Security. His revered TEDx talk, “Listen More, Speak Less:  Lessons In Kindness From A CIA Operative,” amassed tens of thousands of views, and takes an unexpected approach to addressing modern security threats by focusing on the power of kindness and empathy in intelligence work. He also volunteers with Peace4Kids.org (supporting the foster care community), is a member of the leadership council for Black Professionals in International Affairs, and serves as an Independent Board member for Rendeavour, Africa's largest urban land developer, focusing on building new cities across Sub-Saharan Africa with projects in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Recently, Darrell was honored to be awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor presented annually to American citizens both native-born and naturalized. The medal recognizes "individuals who have made it their mission to share with those less fortunate, their wealth of knowledge, indomitable courage, boundless compassion, unique talents and selfless generosity."

 

You can read The New York Times article entitled: "C.I.A. Rejects Diversity Efforts Once Deemed as Essential to Its Mission" in which Darrell is featured and observed: “There are no D.E.I. officers, there are only intelligence officers at C.I.A." 

On the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the Monegasque Association of Compliance Officers (AMCO)  welcomed Darrell as an expert in the fight against terrorism to speak on their web conference moderated by Nathalie Schinzig, Financial Crime Compliance specialist. This virtual discussion on counterterrorism was tailored to the Principality of Monaco's compliance within the global financial system in the fight against money laundering and the financing of weapons and terrorist activities.
