I was building companies from the ground up – Christopher Darnell - CEO, The Human Baton

USC IBEAR Business Class

Chris Darnell likes risk and has “a high capacity for ambiguity.” Good traits for an executive whose career path includes being CFO of the Microsoft Cloud as well as an entrepreneur in Sub-Saharan Africa. Always looking to blend the worlds of the executive and creative, Chris’ current company ‘The Human Baton” will burst onto the media scene soon with race cars, horses, high speed boats and more. In this Business Class interview, we hear how Chris has taken the skills from his USC IBEAR MBA and applied them to a unique career. Chris spoke with Business Class when he returned to USC, to serve as Commencement Speaker for the IBEAR MBA’s 40th class.
