Darren G Lockie is the voice that picks up the phone when people call to enquire about rehab. As co-founder and CEO he oversees every aspect of Lanna Rehab.

Before creating Lanna Rehab, Darren managed Asia’s largest substance abuse and addiction rehab in Asia. He saw firsthand the positive change a well-run rehab could make. He saw lives change one at a time and the ripple effect it had on their family members and the broader community.

With substance abuse trends increasing worldwide, Darren’s vision for Lanna Rehab is to create an accessible, affordable recovery option, while not compromising on the quality of care. Lanna Rehab enables people to recover in comfort, with dignity and privacy and with the help of a world-leading psychotherapy team.

Prior to that, the majority of Darren’s career was spent in various positions with Microsoft Corporation, including Marketing Director, Regional Marketing Director for South Asia and Managing Director of Microsoft Philippines. The experience gave Darren exceptional insight into fiscal responsibility, marketing, sales, partner relationships, team building, managing people, customer service and achieving targets.
