Darren Anglin

Global HR Director & Talent Acquisition, Johnson Controls International

Darren Anglin is a dynamic leader and one of the youngest HR executives globally, currently serving as a Global HR Director at Johnson Controls. A proud University of Georgia alum with a degree in Advertising and Consumer Economics, Darren began his career in marketing at ESPN before pivoting to Human Resources—a move that launched him into over a decade of experience spanning recruiting, talent development, and data-driven executive consulting across three Fortune 100 companies.

Passionate about fostering diverse and inclusive workplaces, Darren has been nationally recognized for his impact. He was named to Advocate magazine’s prestigious 30 Under 30 list in 2023 alongside icons like Lil Nas X and has been honored as a Top Inclusion Professional by the OnCon Awards in both 2024 and 2025, joining ranks with leaders from Microsoft, Walmart, Disney, Morgan Stanley, Netflix, and more.

Outside the office, Darren is deeply engaged in civic and community service. In 2016, he was honored with the Martin Luther King Fulfilling the Dream Award by Stacey Abrams for his local work in Georgia. He continues to serve his community through various initiatives and as a proud Gold Life Member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.

When he’s not leading transformative HR initiatives or mentoring students, you might find Darren tumbling in a gym, dancing at a Beyoncé concert, or volunteering in his hometown of Atlanta.

As he joins My Way Out in 2025, Darren is excited to help the organization expand its reach and enhance its talent practices. True to his philosophy, Darren believes:

“If your dreams don’t scare you, they just aren’t big enough.”
