Darlene Cunningham

Diagnosed with ADHD as a child in a critical era, “rational dreamer" Darlene Cunningham sought validation for her struggles, realizing the issue lay with a world she seeks to shape. Darlene, a gifted woman who despises the label, likens herself to a mix of Skittles and M&M's—risky, rewarding, and self-amusing.

With over a decade of experience in the Group Life, Disability, and Supplemental insurance industry, Darlene has forged a path where analytical rigor meets creative thinking. Her journey involves not only navigating insurance complexities but also leveraging technology, particularly MS Excel and other MS Office products, to turn data into actionable insights.

Darlene approaches every project as a puzzle, combining precision and creativity. Her role extends beyond insurance technicalities, making her a linchpin for strategic decisions across her organization. Her reports are narratives guiding decision-making and driving operational excellence, earning trust and recognition as an industry expert.

One of Darlene's proudest achievements is co-developing and implementing a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program within her company. She advocates for an environment where every voice is respected and valued, enhancing company culture and reinforcing commitment to inclusivity.

Beyond spreadsheets and strategy meetings, Darlene finds joy in life's simple pleasures. Known for her friendliness, reliability, and loyalty, she values personal connections as much as professional ones. Resilience and persistence are her hallmarks, shaped through years of challenges and growth.

Darlene is dedicated to making a meaningful impact, whether through innovative solutions, fostering inclusivity, or bringing smiles with a well-placed dad joke. She seeks opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals and organizations valuing creativity, diversity, and resilience.

In a world of constant change, Darlene is eager to embark on a journey of solving puzzles, breaking barriers, and creating a future where everyone has a seat at the table. She looks forward to connecting, collaborating, and contributing to success stories, making every project count.
