Meet Darrin Cooke

Cyber Security Manager at Corporate Office

Darrin has been with ANZCO Foods for one year as the Cyber Security Manager at the ANZCO Foods Corporate Office. In his role, he helps protect the company's people, information, and technology.
 
His role includes managing cyber security risks, improving security measures, supporting projects, and helping teams make informed decisions about technology and information. A big part of his job is to make sure ANZCO can continue to grow and operate safely while keeping its systems and information secure.
 
Before joining ANZCO, Darrin spent seven years at Farmlands working in cyber security, technology architecture, technology operations, and executive IT management. Before that, he worked in operations management and service delivery for a network and cyber security consultancy, after starting his career in various IT support roles in the retail industry.
 
Outside work, Darrin enjoys travelling, photography, and following sport - although these days he's more likely to be watching from the sidelines than taking part himself.
 
After a busy day, his favourite way to unwind is with a nice meal in front of something mindless on TV, followed by some quiet time with a good book.
