Next month, he will retire from his long-held role as chief executive of Pacific Edge, handing over the reins to medical business executive Dr Peter Meintjes. After spending two decades with the Fletcher Challenge Group, Mr Darling was shoulder-tapped to lead newly formed Pacific Edge in Dunedin. Under Mr Darling’s leadership, Pacific Edge has built and developed Cxbladder products designed for non-invasive tests for bladder cancer. Deciding to stand down from Pacific Edge had been in the plans for a while but it was a matter of timing. After that, he will be contracted to Pacific Edge for the next two years for when the company needed him.
