Danny John Fakhre (DJF) is a Grenadian businessman with substantial business interests all around the world. He has a passion for agriculture and the environment and has a strong belief that Grenada will be a Caribbean leader in tourism, and sustainable agriculture. DJF is the Chairman and CEO of the Fares Group of Companies which are worldwide traders and transporters of livestock. DJF has spent over thirty-five years in the industry, commencing in Australia which is a major supplier on the procurement side of the business.

DJF was later based in Cairo from 1983 until 1990 to develop the Egyptian market. During this time the company became by far the largest supplier of livestock to Egypt (above 80% of Egypt's total imports).

DJF changed the focus of operations from the mainly long- haul sheep trade to the more lucrative cattle trade. These moves positioned the group to take advantage of the growing cattle markets of the Middle East, North Africa, South East Asia and Mexico and made it into the largest exporter/transporter of live cattle in the world.

Later, Danny established a Cyprus based company, Sokhna Fares Limited, for the efficient integration of all the Company’s activities in livestock long haul trade and transport.

DJF owns a forestry products company in Australia called Carbon Gold Group Pty Ltd (CGG) CGG is headquartered in Perth with Operations in the wheat belt mainly at Kalannie in regional Western Australia.

In 2020 DJF and his business partner Barry Collymore began discussing ideas for improving the quality of tourism in Grenada and the Caribbean. The result was the formation of the West Indies School of Hospitality in Collaboration with E-Cornell. DJF believes that WISH, can be the catalyst which leads to a repositioning of Grenada and the Caribbean on the global tourism market. DJF has also brought on his long time friend Naguib Sawiris on the Board of WISH. DJF and Naguib have significant hotel investment in Grenada and WISH will be the training institute where the staff development will take place.
