About the Author

Darren Argyle spent three decades as a senior group executive across Standard Chartered Bank, S&P Global, Qantas Airways, and IBM. He knows what it means to be the load-bearing wall that keeps an organisation standing.

While still employed, he built the Cyber Leadership Institute, a bootstrapped seven-figure platform serving leaders across 80 countries. In 2025, he exited corporate on his own terms, not because he had to, but because the system he built worked.

The Corporate Exit Playbook packages the diagnostic framework he used to audit his own position and design his exit. It is written for executives who want a clear-eyed look at where they stand, not a motivational pep talk about what is possible.
